An African Opportunity!

I am excited to announce that I have a rare and amazing opportunity to travel to Africa. I have been asked by my friends Dale and Linda at Natural Calm to join them in their efforts in supporting Organics 4 Orphans.
Organics 4 Orphans is a sustainable project designed to reach out and touch the orphaned children in need. At the same time it gives an economic jump-start to family farms throughout Kenya and the whole of Africa.
My trip will commence on May 19th, 2010. The goal of my participation in this adventure is to educate these communities on healthy eating. I will be teaching them how to use their lush green agriculture in local, sustainable and simple recipes – what I do best!
I am extremely honoured to be apart of this project and can’t wait to bring my delicious knowledge to Africa. I know that in return, I will be learning from them as well. How they live, how they farm and their indigenous culture and traditions.
This will be an experience of a lifetime and I can’t wait to share it with all of you when I get back!
How you can help:
There is only so much Organics 4 Orphans can do on their own and every dollar goes a long way in Africa. So if you can find it in your heart to donate any amount. Myself, Dale and Linda and the Children in Africa would greatly appreciate it.
