Andrew Adansi-Bonnah – At 11, He's Already Making a Difference!
Andrew Adansi-Bonnah is only 11, but he’s not too young to make a difference. Recently, Andrew saw pictures of the famine in Somalia. When he saw that children just like himself were starving to death, he decided he wanted to do what he could to help.
Andrew was on an 8-week break from school, and he decided to use his free time to try to help the kids of Somalia. He started a campaign called Save Somali Children From Hunger, and he began walking to each office in the city of Accra, Ghana collecting donations. As of now, Andrew has already collected thousands of dollars and is doing his part to help end the famine in Somalia!
