As you know I am planning on going abroad this summer to Africa, and one of my destinations is Malawi. Besides having been born and raised there, this is the country that my nonprofit organization has decided to start our work in. So, while I'm there, I wanted to be able to contribute to the community in return for the huge contribution they are going to make in raising our organization's awareness of their situation, their needs, and their stories. So please vote and get all the people you know to vote! Thanks!! :)
