The world is a crazy place. And i just want to help as much as i can but, im still just me, and still a kid. This weekend I went to a leadership conference and it was great! And this week was a chance to put it all to work. AIDS AWERNESS WEEK. We sold condom art pins, which ar condoms with fabrice taped on(double sided tape) and a pin taped on the other side. We were able to raise about $100 which is pretty good. Especially considering it was a fairly spontaneous movement. We are also planning to take a day of silence and wear armbands that say, AIDS SILENCES. Woman in africa are really silenced as soon as they get aids which is a terrible thing. There are so many other problems in the world too.
I want to travel the world. I want to save the world. So watch out world here I come.
