“One Man’s Opinion” by Gordon Curvey
Was as always thinking about stories to share with the readers here on “Music Inner City News Magazine” and here is a great story.
MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell needs to be given a award for what he is doing for young children in Malawi in Africa. Now in it’s 14th year, K.I.N.D (Kids In Need Of Desks) Fund, has worked with UNICEF USA and MSNBC.
With the great help of Lawrence, so far more than 385,000 desks has been sent to Malawi. The goal is to have more than 1.5 million desks for young kids in school in the country.
Of course O’Donnell does NOT have to do this. He can spend his hard earned money to see the world and drive nice cars and have steak and wine every night but he has decided to take some of his time to help the kids in this far away country of Malawi.
The project that Lawrence help start is to help young girls in Malawi and also help young girls obtain scholarships so they can graduate from high school and them obtain there goals.
Public schools in Malawi is not free. Plus for some reason young girls graduation rate is less than half of young boys. Girls are less likely to drop out of school because they cannot the fees and many marry early. This is a problem in the country.
By the end of 2023, more than 29,000 young girls have obtained high school scholarships with the help of O’Donnell and his K.I.N.D organization.
A lot of young people want to also go to college after they leave high school. But first they have to graduate from high school. Having a nice desk to help with their education sure would help. Not being at a school without desks. Maybe working on the ground for goodness sake.
Readers investing in a organization like K.I.N.D helps to transform lives and brightens futures for students in Malawi. What Lawrence O’Donnell is helping to do is just great. It really is.
Here is a link (top of the page) for you to learn more about this project and donate to help young girls with a desk to work on in Malawi. PLEASE help! And a HUGE shout out to MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell.
By the way rumor is MSNBC is thinking about removing Lawrence’s nightly program. THIS IS WRONG!! This just cannot happen! Please speak out if you enjoy his show like I do.
