i want to act now because i grew up so priveliged but around those who weren't. i lived in Africa for 7 years and there was so much poverty even returning to Australia i could see those stuggling and had this overwhelming feeling of helplessness. i had no money to donate and eveyone thought i was just going through a phrase or wouldn't take me seriously actnow gives me the chance to make a difference, it gives me a purpose. my oldest sister inspires me, she has done so much in life and is so independent and knows her goals and is slowly completely doing everything she said she would.

wow, okay i came on here and it said i had over 3000 visits to my page which is alot considering i just realised i haven't done much on here for a long time. Hence this update blog, okay well my actions have been currently been revovling around reach out www.reachout.com.au and their forums which discuss a lot of mental health issues youth face today.  Having just finnished my HSC i had to decide what to do with my life and since i have no idea i have delayed it by having a gap year in which to work. I am joining the volunteer fire fighters in nowra and in September next year i will be going overseas to work in an orphange in Ghana for a little over three months. Going to Ghana is currently my main goal and i trying to do as much as possible to achieve it, such as, get a job, do a first aid course, reasearch Ghana, look into flights and insurance and so on. Also i am currently obsessed with a facebook group called a million faces against malaria. WHICH EVERYONE SHOULD JOIN it's completely free and it raises awareness and money to help those with malaria. Malaria can be easily prevented in Africa by using a $5 net at night. This group raises money to buy more nets for the economically disadvantaged. Also if you want to talk to me or ask any questions or just a general chat send me a msg and i will get back to you. i strongly believe you are never to young to change the world, make are postive impact! and i hope you all have a great day
