Aliya had her first charity event! She helped me raise $500 for the Partnership walk! As a family we raised $1,000! We had so much fun! Lake Eola is one of my favorite places to be. My parents have been taking me there since I was a kid and I have always found peace walking around the lake. What a great venue for the walk! We had a fantastic time!

Improving lives abroad reduces the risk of humanitarian crisis worldwide. Just $50 per American per year above current government efforts could cut world hunger in half. With the right investments, we can create a real force for change in overcoming hunger and poverty, promoting democracy, protecting children, and advancing women’s rights, among many other positive results.
