Njeri's Mind Out Wild

The idea of Africa uniting is a surprisingly old proposal, with adherents dating back to 1920’s.Though the idea of a united Africa is one that began long ago but has especially grown recently as the world slowly sinks from crisis after crisis. It will be the best thing that will have ever happened to Africa as it will bring with it a lot of advantages and even give Africa the power to stand tall.                The first advantage of Africa uniting is perceived to be a much stronger voice on the international. Africa is currently the second biggest continent, a home of 53 sovereign states each with its own heritage, cultures, customs and history. This means that African states can be played against each other fairly well. If united, it would give Africa a much stronger voice.

Background Future Hope and Baby Centre was started on February 5th, 2006. Jane, the Director of the home, liked to visit Children's Garden, an orphanage within the District where she worked as a teacher. The director of the home was a friend who was struggling to raise abandoned children.
