Out of Africa and Back Again (CAMFED)

Africa is such an enigmatic country with much beauty and much pain. I would like to call out just a few places where you can learn about the good happening there. I will do one a week. Perhaps it might kindle an interest in you helping as well (assuming, of course, you are not doing so already). If you happen to be involved in outreach or conservation work there, please share you experience in the comment section. Thank you and God bless.

My first organization is CAMFED (Campaign for Female Education). If you are on Twitter, you can follow them @Camfed. On June 16, they posted this Tweet:

Help girls in rural Africa study by providing solar lamps just by following @thespudorg or clicking "Like" on Facebook! http://ow.ly/1Zlwn

Please feel free to do one or both and help support education in Africa.

Below is a quote pulled from their "About" page and a film short highlighting Cindy, one of the many girls supported by CAMFED.
