help the children in Africa

so recently i have been intensely looking into going to africa for a year. there is an internship that was made available to me where i would go and live in africa for an entire year. i’m really looking into it, the only problem is the cost. it’s almost $7000. i mean i could ask my parents for the money, but that would be one more thing they could hold above my head as far as money goes. so i’m not going to resort to that. i have school bills slowly piling up, other bills not getting any smaller, and life is just stressful in general. but for some reason i keep being drawn to this. could 2010 be the year? i have a few more months to think about it and raise money, so for now, it’s still tentative. but i’m going to do it. watch me.
