Share the party or Run for Africa
Do you know that you can improve education in Africa by mere jogging? If you work at elementary or high school, you can involve your students in Run for Africa project. The students themselves must find sponsors and then the rule is following - the more rounds they finish, the more help would go to Africa.
Run for Africa
You need not to be teachers to organize a charitable event. You just need a party or celebration - for example birthday or wedding anniversary. Then you can collect gifts from the guests and support chosen project realised by People in Need.
