Donations to Africa

October 26th, 2006 by kdanielle

There are many different problems in the world like disasters, deaths, murders, and crashes. These things happen all over the world but one of most common places where these things happen is in Africa. Many different things happen in Africa every day, and a lot of people have tried to help Africa by donating money, food, clothing, and toys for small children. And right now there is another donation, which is going to Africa it is called ( RED). The person in charge of it all is Bono of U2, he has convinced companies of all kinds to make red products. Some companies like GAP, and Apple computers, they have managed to make clothing and a red ipod nano. With these products made a lot of many has been coming to these companies and whatever money they make fifteen dollars of each product that is made is donated to Africa. But here is something to think about…are these companies doing it to support Africa, or are they just doing this to get good publicity? So tell me what you think.

This is a picture of some people in a village called Nata.

    Hi Katie! :)
    This is a really good post, so I am going to post what I think. I think that these companies might be doing this to get good publicity, but even if they are they are still helping Africa and their people. I think this is a really good pandemic and I think it will make a big difference in the lives of Africans.

    hey, my name is called Nicholas! I am a student in china SAS and I think your posting is really good. I think that everyone should donate some money so the people who got AIDS will be better. I am really happy that U2 is helping the people and America. I believed the world will get better. :)

    Question, when a company sells something red, the money goes to Africa? Well, I think it depends on which company. Some companies can be greedy for popularity, some companies just want to help Africa in the bottom of their hearts. I really like what you wrote, it really gets me thinking!

    I think Natalie has a really good point. It is excellent that companies are sending a portion of their profits to support AIDS research, but we need to wonder why they are doing it….
