For me it makes perfect sense to go to an orphanage and find a child that needs a home.
It was really tough. You need this wonderful, calm doctor who tells you everything is going to be OK.
We are at a unique threshold in human history, where the crisis we face in Africa is matched only by our degree of hope that we can and will be a force for positive change, ... I'm hopeful that increased awareness of the issues in Africa will bring about a new wave of progress and activism among young people everywhere.
