Africa is Life Changing
Another organization Shelly Tipp is involved with is "Africa
is life changing" .
Africa Is Life Changing Inc. is a humanitarian organization dedicated
to nurturing the lives of women and children in Kenya. The AIDS
pandemic ravages Kenya daily, leaving children orphaned, unprotected,
and struggling to survive. These children lack the critical necessities—such
as clean water, food, and shelter— that most of us take for
granted. We understand that we can't do everything, but we can all do
something.
Through two annual expeditions staffed by 25 volunteers, AILC works
to relieve the suffering and instability of Kenya's needy girls
and boys. Our volunteers tutor in math and reading, assist the medical
screening process, play games with children, hold and comfort infants,
and encourage hope in young hearts.
