The question is: which will come first? Sometimes the answer to a complex problem, such as this, is surprisingly simple and sometimes it is not. This space is designed to offer a nuanced perspective of the things that we could do to do our part.

Grannies a Go Go
So I was walking down the hall at work today when I was stopped by a woman who was peddling felted winter wear in our pedway. She was a retired foreign development officer who now worked with an organization called the Wakefield Grannies (http://www.thegrannies.org/) and sold these articles to raise money and support for the Go-Go Grannies in Africa... Who are the Go Go Grannies you might ask? Well these ladies are Grandmother's who care for their grandchildren orphaned by AIDS. You can find out more about them here: http://keepachildalive.org/our-work/gogo-grannies/ and here: http://granniesagogo.com/.
