I'm going to try and do a post each Monday dedicated to Mocha Club and awareness in Africa. I became a campus representative at U of I for the Mocha Club last Spring. The Mocha Club is a nonprofit organization that was started to get college students involved in helping out and making a difference in Africa. The premise of MC is that each and every one of us can make a huge impact in Africa for little to no money (giving $7/month, equivalent to the price of two mochas) Did you know that $7 gives clean water to 7 African's for a year?? Or that $7 can sustain life for 1 person living with AIDS? These are just a few examples of the extent just $7 can go.
MC also makes your donation very personal. You can choose which projects you are most passionate about:
-Clean water
-Education
-HIV/AIDS + Health Care
-Child Mothers + Women at Risk
-Orphan Care + Vulnerable Children
When you sign up, you will also get a monthly email with photos, videos, blogs from MC members traveling and working in Africa, along with information on your specific project area and the lives being impacted. If you're interested in going on a trip to Africa, there are also many opportunities available.
So tell your friends, start or join a team! We all need Africa... can you give up $7 this month?
love love
