Touch The Nations
My friend, Katja, started Touch The Nations in an effort to connect the world at home and the world abroad - sharing awareness, resources and hope.
A Way to get involved and help:
Touch the Nation's project - Ship Hope to Africa - is raising funds to send a sea crate [train car] of donations to the war wounded and amputees in Sierra Leone.
More than 6,000 amputees in Sierra Leone received no compensation after they were unjustly maimed in a decade-long civil war.The child soldiers - drugged to commit these atrocities - were compensated for relinquishing their weapons. The victims - including men, women and children - were largely overlooked by the world.
Everything from shoes and clothing to books, tools and electronic items are already being promised. It costs $12,000 to send - $2 per amputee. They are looking for people to help pay for the shipping costs as well as donate needed items. Check out what items are needed.
For more information you can contact Katja.
