<p>Thank you again Cali and Avi! Looking forward for more to follow you for this lovely and smart charity to give the poor and hungry ones in Africa a real chance and hope, not just a temporary short-term help. I'm jumping off an airplane for them to grow! (and me to get an adrenaline boost :)</p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>

<p>When I first heard about this lovely group of people going for <span style="color: #00ccff;">SkyDiving</span> all together (19.6.11) I thought - how fun, a group free fall!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I then read a bit more and got exposed to the <span style="color: #993300;"><strong>wonderful</strong></span>, <span style="color: #ff6600;"><em>creative </em></span>and <strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;">influential</span></strong> charity - <span style="color: #0000ff;"><a title="Send A Cow" href="http://www.sendacow.org.uk/what-makes-us-different" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Send A Cow !</strong></span></a></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong><br /></strong></span></span></p>
<p>Now I'm not the classic "charity" guy, but I got to tell you what they do there in Send A Cow is absolutely fantastic.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The concept of <span style="color: #008000;">favouring knowledge</span>, <span style="color: #339966;">self-farming</span> and <span style="color: #339966;">strengthening the communities</span> of hungry people all over Africa, over simply donating food and supply (which is only a short-term help basically), is one to admire.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Even if you won't donate here anything, at least take a few minutes away to <a title="What is it all about" href="http://vimeo.com/17917177" target="_blank">watch one of their videos</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The idea is to help African families to grow enough food to eat, sell their produce and develop small businesses that last. Send A Cow provide training, livestock, seeds and ongoing support; and <span style="color: #ff0000;">help families to make the most of the land and resources they already have.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><br /></span></p>
<p>Can't think of much better reasons to either donate a little bit of money or to... jump off an airplane!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm doing them both, you are welcome to do at least the first :-)</p>
