Interested in finding a poor African village we can partner with

I am interested in finding a poor African village we can partner with, and
carry out fundraising to help the village improve its sanitation, farming
etc and be self sufficient. Do you have any ideas as to how we could go
about setting this up and finding a village to partner who we could contact
directly?

If you are still interested come to Kenya. In Nairobi airport there are several people that help visitors in Kenya so you just ask one of those people and they will take you around the entire country. There are several neighboring villages around Nairobi area you can help. If you ask anybody in Kenya they can take you around so come to Kenya and you will like it here.

Partner with? Partner with the funds that are raised. Of course the funds that are left after you take your padded wages and expenses out. Your travel, your food, your insurances (life, health, dentist, retirement etc,) and on and on and as per usual a few bucks that are left goes to the justification of your project of helping Africans.

And that is my comment in the comment area of this forum relative to this post on partnering in raising money.

Well, i love your passion. There are but how do you want to do the fund-raising? It will be a good development if you can do that in one of our Village at the Niger Delta in Nigeria. they are just recovering from the war between government and freedom fighters. am sure you have heard about oil spill and gas flares in this region called Niger Delta. Water are unsafe at some places and soil textures are bad due to gas flaring and oil spill. Well, if you want to and want to learn more, my email is mfonabel@yahoo. com
