Hello! This is my first blog posting but it seems like a great way to get your ideas and thoughts out so here it goes! Okay, I'm very opinionated and worried about many issues that seem to be practically taking over our world right now. I'm thinking about issues like AIDS, poverty, wars, and people having difficulty getting to clean water and food. There are so many diseases that pose a major problem in places where access to vaccine's and treatments aren't available. There is also the problem of global warming. I'm even thinking about how there are many species of animals that are at this moment dangerously close to extinction. These problems really worry me and I want to help. My main problem is that I don't exactly have money to donate to organizations that have the means to help. I'm also much too young travel around giving speeches to encourage others to help and listen to these problems, much less travel over seas or around the U.S. trying to take matters into my own hands. I'm still not discouraged though. I still want to find a way to help. If anybody reading this blog has any ideas for me PLEASE respond. I want to help. I'm going to try writing to Congress about smaller issues that only affect things in my country or state but I need more ideas. Thank you!
