Hey everyone, Im writing to tell you about the Brad Pitt interview I watched last night on Primetime Live. It was so sad. They showed him going to Africa and all the children and families there. Its only sixteen dollars to send a child to school for a year. I spend sixteen dollars a day by the time I buy a drink, lunch, gas, etc. I couldn’t believe it. These children want to be doctors, engineers, one wanted to be a stuntman. It was sad that all these children want is an education, something we take for granted, something that costs sixteen dollars a year. I feel as though we should help people in our country but also others too. One girl started crying because she didn’t know if she would be able to go to school next year, there was a girl and her mom who had a few small pieces of stale bread to eat for dinner, girls who were becoming prostitutes and if they asked the guys to wear condoms they would get violent with them. Its just horrible situations. I don’t know if yall have seen the commercial for the one campaign, it has a lot of celebrities in it and it starts out with Brad Pitt. I meant to go there the other day and then I saw this interview last night. I went to the site this morning, www.one.org, you can get wristbands to support the cause(they cost money), sign the declaration like I did, put a banner in your info or at your website(I put one in my info). Please take a look at the website. We can make a difference. I’m sorry if this sounds cheesy but it’s a terrible situation. Ive always wanted to help people, that’s all I want to do and if this is a way to do it then I will.
Love you guys,
Ali
P.S. Thanks for all your comments, I’m feeling better now.
