Be a HERO

Do you have a daughter between the ages of 16 and 19, or do you know some one who does? If so, they might be interested to hear about the HERO Youth Ambassador Program, a school-based organization that provides support to orphans and children living in HIV/AIDS-affected African communities. Reading about some of these teens, who give up their vacations to travel to Africa, makes me have more faith in the state of our youth today. (It makes me even rethink my vow not to let my girls leave the house until they're thirty.)

And now HERO is looking for 20 teens to travel to Africa in 2008. (Juniors and Seniors in High School and College Freshmen are eligible.) What an amazing opportunity for young people who want to heed the call to serve others. Applications can be found here, but hurry - the deadline is March 1.
