Joseph is 26 and lives in Windhoek, Namibia. At 21 years, has unexpectedly become the father and the mother of his 4 brothers and 2 younger sisters when his mother more loving Hileni, a teacher and alderman, the sole breadwinner, died suddenly of HIV disease.

His father , Samuels had died the year before. The youngest child at that time was just under 4 years. Fortunately, when Hileni died, Joseph and graduated from high school and was planning to go to college, but never went because I had to get a job to support his younger brothers and sisters.

Joseph has a brother, Fritz, who is 23 years and is defying the gravity of its difficulties to attend college. She wants to go to Santa Monica College, Santa Monica, California, and then transferring to UCLA to complete his education level, so you can someday find a job that pays well and to help their brothers and sisters.

when Fritz complete their education, Jose would be about 30 years, but Joseph also plans to go to college just Fritz finishes and gets a job to help shoulder the burden of the family. However, for Fritz to find the money to pay tuition and SMC is another dream come true for you need him, it is almost impossible, his mother and father died and no relatives who can afford to Send AA college. With the rigid bureaucracy, who and how someone can even ask the government to help finance their education?

in Columbus, Ohio, Timothy is 20 years old and a sophomore at Ohio State University with a specialization in Computer Engineering. His mother was killed in a drug-related accident when Timothy was only three years. His father was, unfortunately, a victim of drugs and alcohol, as Timothy was small, so they are never gone anywhere to help raise brother.
Timothy and his young
Fortunately, Timothy had an aunt who helped a child and his younger brother. And at the age of 14 years, Tim was forced to find a job in Richmond, Virginia, at a local McDonald € ™ s restaurant, but he was too young to work, had to lie about his candidacy was in fact 16 years age. He had to work to support his young Timothy is called brother.

€ ™ € ~ definition, the definition of overcoming difficulties, struggles, and grow without adequate monitoring and parental love. His favorite word is â € ™ € ~ fire .

always talked to Timothy, he should know that the word â € ~ Focus € ™ regret in her tone more than a dozen times. Itâ € ™ s vocabulary and reminder to stay focused on what you've always wanted to reach your goal and realize their potential. He has already defied that since high school, no matter what they had faced in its early years and to enroll in college to achieve its dream.

Timothy works more hours each week, more hours needed to study. He is forced to work to pay the rent and living expenses for himself and his younger brother. However, HEA € ™ s, at least, the fate that has financial aid and loans to students from the U. S. Department of Education to pay tuition and fees at Ohio State University.
Zanella
is 16 years in Soweto, South Africa. Has three sisters and a brother. His father died of AIDS when she was only 12 years and his mother died of the same disease when she was 14 years. At 16 years, Zanella is the mother and father, provider and supporter of his brothers. She left school to work as a bricklayer to earn money to help and support his brother and sisters.

His parents, aunts and uncles have died of AIDS and family who are also HIV positive. Grandmother of 79 years of age is the only one left to help at home, but in reality can do at his age, except for children, Zanella when going to work?

in rural India, theree € ™ sa place called Destiny Village (http://www.destinyvillage.org) with children, most orphanages, some of which were abandoned by their families. These same people also Destiny has been established to help Haiti home the same type of children. These two houses have been generously sponsored by the configuration and the members of Potter ™ € s House Church of God (http://www.pottershouse.org) in Columbus, Ohio, under the leadership of anointed, Pastor Tim Oldfield .

Some or all children in housing projects Destiny Village, except for the Potter ™ € s House initiatives to help provide adequate housing, food and education, only God knows where these children would be today, the Most of them would probably be dead, or becoming homeless as they were before the House Potter ™ € s initiatives to assist in them.

Lundazi rural areas in Zambia, Zimba Mathias, director of increasing Source Development (http://www. risingfountains.org) is trying its utmost best to help families, grandparents, children and victims of HIV positive in the entire rural area of Lundazi to access to health services education.

Lundazi and is one of the most great in the eastern part of Zambia with a total population of 296,560, of which the majority live in rural areas Lundazi, while only a small proportion of the population lives in cities district.

The majority of the population of Lundazi who is HIV positive are still alive, while most parents have died of HIV, and only the grandparents are left to breed and care for children
orphanage
When grandparents only, most of them are in their 70s and ' 80, can not really provide the children with the care they need and which may also help in their educational role, which is normal for parents. Since the majority of grandparents were born during colonialism and have no chance to get an education. So now, the cycle of illiteracy continues to repeat itself.

â € œThere a series of policies which have been launched and is being gradually implemented by the Government of Zambia, although the challenge is that most of these policies are truly effective only in urban areas and drip a snail's pace in rural areas €? Among Zimba.
said
some major policy implemented by the Government of Zambia are:

Education Policy – Education free for all to basic education. However, the challenge is that despite being a politician, school authorities still have to pay a user fee € ~ â € ™ â € feeâ students pay.

"This money is used for the operating costs of school to meet gaps in their budgets that have deficiencies. Now, in rural areas, where land can be a family with an income barely cover these costs? The final solution is that in rural areas, some children, especially girls, remain out of school and are forced to early marriage and so on €? Said Mr. Zimba.

Health Policy – Free HIV / AIDS for those infected with the disease. Zimba said that this is a wonderful policy for those who are HIV positive have access to lifesaving drugs.

â € œThe problem is that most rural clinics are centralized in the vicinity of urban areas, and patients have to walk about 120 kilometers (about 75 miles) to access the help they desperately need. There are no reliable transport, despite the efforts of the community to make a good road access and, ultimately, people are dying in rural areas €? Said Mr. Zimba.

â € œWhat are the consequences? HIV is increasingly prevalent throughout the country and grandmothers take care, care for their grandchildren because of the death of their children €? He said Zimba.

agricultural policy – a good policy was launched in the market for agricultural products to local farmers to sell their products through a liberalized system in order to win a little money to maintain their families.

â € œThe problem is that, despite all these wonderful policies for agriculture, rural areas, we are just seeing some œunscrupulousâ € â €? workers who come to steal poor farmers and buy their products at low Prices €?
â € Zimba.
Member œOur main goal is to help children and women in these areas of Zambia to have a future and realize their dreams. But to do this, we need support for our work for people who have the power and resour
ces can help achieve our goals. We must help children to have food on the table, medicine, clothing and, above all, good health systematize €?
cries Zimba.
One of the projects that are helping and cooperating with the increase of the Source Development Program Project is Pencil (http://www.thepencilproject.com), directed by Maria Vick and is based in South Carolina â € USA .

OEI lived in Swaziland as a child and learned first hand of poverty. As you know, a trip to Africa that nobody is going to change forever. It 'always surprised me the joy and gratitude that I found on the African people, despite the fact that many had littlea €? Member Mrs. Vick.
OEAs I'ma
â € ™ € I have matured now to 36 years, have come to believe that education is the only real way out of poverty and all the World's Children ™ € should have access to the tools they need. One pack of a dozen pencils, something that people in well developed countries take for granted, could help to € 12 for children? Mrs. â € CERN Member Vick.

short period of time, my project has led to a pencil in the hands of more than 10,000 needy children. The pen, but a simple thing, symbolizes the promise of education and I want all children to feel €? , Says Mary Vick.

Mrs. Vick says that acts as a â € ~ € ™ matchmaker between a school and a school for needy donors. People come to your site who are looking for an easy way to help children in need. The school is collecting pencils donor and then send them to school must be found for them. That E ™ € s how your organization has started working with Mathias Zimba and increased Program.

Source Development â € OEI believe that Mathias first contacted me ™ € I do not remember, and we sent an expedition to the original pencils for students . He responded so well to send me many photos of children who receive pencils. They were so grateful! His image is on my home page. Simon, I cried for days €? Unfortunately, the States â € Vick.

OEI helped numerous schools in need around the world from my Projecta € ™ s Home, but something about this program, on Mathias Zimba, and some of these students have touched me touched. I am personally committed to gather supplies for their school and are currently sending two extra packages for the month of paper, books, etc. all on my own dime €? exclaimed Mrs. Vick.

â € œThe children have nothing, no shoes, no blankets, nothing € | and still tries to come to school every day with a smile on his face. I donâ € ™ t believe that the United Nations or any government for that matter is doing much to help the World ™ € s children. There are children who forget the world. Even in my state of South Carolina, we are dramatically under-funded school districts (http://www.corridorofshame.com). Personally, I look forward to the government to come with these children. Materials needed today and every day that passes is another missed opportunity for them. I Wona € ™ t wait for the government. I just want to put the material in hand €? States â € Mrs. OEAs Vick.

regard to children left homeless by AIDS is devastating. However, itâ € ™ s part of a much larger problem that returns to education. Knowledge is power, Simon. I know you understand. E 'often difficult to recruit people to help in these efforts, if they have never been in Africa or simply Seena € ™ â € ™ of poverty through the TV screen in the room warm and comfortable lounge. That € ™ s why I am concentrating on the younger generation € "children who email me every day to help. Are so eager and so willing to help build his generation. I am encouraged by the fact that my little idea has blossomed into something that could never have imagined €? The lady of the United States Vick.
Mathias Zimba
his organization € ™ s main goal is to help children and women in these areas of Zambia to have a future and realize their dreams. â € œBut do this we need for our advocacy work for people who have the power and resources can help achieve our goals. We must help children to have food on the table, medicine, clothing and, above all, good health systematize €? Mr. Zimba.

shouting â € œOur urgent need today is to allocate funds to help pay the teachers at our school in the rural community, which is U.S. $ 150 a monthly salary of a qualified teacher to work in rural areas. We need to hire two qualified teachers for help. Currently we are working only with volunteers and consistency €? Zimba.

says â € œRehabilitation wells. Water borne diseases thrive in rural areas, and we want to help them restore and maintain through the formation of a committee of water. The cost is about U.S. $ 400 to rehabilitate a well, and we must help rehab about 5 wells serving 300 members €? Mathias Member Zimba.

The most important issue now facing Mr. Zimba is to find someone willing to help with donations or grants for the purchase of a vehicle that can be used to call an ambulance, that will help people in they can go to community health clinics and medical care they so desperately need.

most patients when they walk long distances to fetch their daily doze of anti-HIV, most of them Dona ™ € t even do it again. They die on the way to the clinics, and leads them up to 3 days to get through And when foot.

donâ € ™ t return home, the children ask, whoa € ™ s take away all our parents? Whoa € ™ s killing our parents? Doesn € ™ t God loves us more? Why has God forsaken me?

Grandparents do not have answers to two questions, look at the children and tell them that itâ € ™ s Goda € ™ s that Hea € ™ s them away.

Some people who can afford, use donkey carts to and from for clinics. Zimba believes that finding someone to help with a van that can be used as a vehicle to help them solve one of the very issues most critical to disease healthcare.

weeks on October 16, 2007, Jennie, who is one of the volunteers of Ireland, who arrived last week of volunteering on the rise of the Source Development Program, has led Mr. Zimba and his team an award presented by the mayor Edwin Stevenson, Limavady town, Ireland, who awarded Mathias Zimba and his team as recognition of his outstanding community â € work.

"This is great news for us all. Itâ € ™ sa daily challenge facing many problems in our community and this award encourages us to work tirelessly and help people in our community, as you can. We just need help, more resources and support so that we can continue our work, even a small contribution can make a difference in a large Waya €? Member Mr. Zimba.

In the near future, Mathias Zimba and his organization wants to launch a cooperation program to help farmers sell their products at affordable prices and increase the income of savings.
â € œThere many other
organizations like World Vision, Global Fund, and others who work for the same case in Zambia, but most of these organizations are centralized in major cities and towns and donâ € ™ t really reach people in rural areas €? Says Mr. Zimba.

There are many Josephs, Timothy, Zanella, Peoples Lundazis Destination and there, around us, anywhere in the world, and the question is, what are you doing to help?
