We’ve all seen the television news reports and read accounts of the horrific conditions millions of children in Africa are forced to live in.
Among war-ravaged Darfur and AIDS-infested Zambia there sure isn’t very much for a young child to look forward to each day.
But those in the recreation profession here in the United States are helping to make a difference there--and you can be a part of these life-changing efforts, too. Together, we’re putting smiles on kids’ faces. We’re serving up slices of hope. We’re giving them the chance to participate in positive activities to fill their free time, and reduce the likelihood that they’ll turn to drugs, unprotected sex or other unhealthy pursuits.
