I'm 15 (16 in a month) and I'm really interested in helping the starving children in Africa. Only I don't know how to get involved in this? Is there anything I can do to help these poor children?
Also, when I'm older (out of college) I want to travel to Africa to help these children (note: this is not a new-found passion, I've wanted to help since 8th grade but I havent known how to help) is there any way I could get there like any group to join? I'm not sure how I could go about with that but I really want to go to help for a year of my life.

If your interest praticularly in children in Africa I'd definately check out [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) I've met a few people who voluntereed through them and it is something I hope to do when I graduate.
