My Journeys to Africa: Save the greatest wildlife migration in Africa

Save the greatest wildlife migration in Africa

**Petitioning: Tanzania government (H.E. Mr.Jakaya Kikwete, the president of Tanzania)**

Why this is Important (according to http://www.change.org/petitions/save-the-greatest-wildlife-migration-in-africa):

Tanzania government plans to build a highway across Serengeti national park.

No doubt, it will be destroying the Serengeti Eco-system(including Serengeti national park in Tanzania and Masai Mara national reserve in Kenya) as well as the greatest wildlife migration in Africa.

Africa is the last Eden Garden for wildlife on earth, Serengeti Eco-system is one of the best preserved Ecosystem in the world. The great migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras is very critical to the ecosystem, and it will be no more if there is a high way cutting off the roads.

Can we do something to stop the project so as to save the greatest wildlife migration in Africa?

Can we take our efforts to suggest Tanzania government to build the road in the south (outside Serengeti national park)so as to meet the requirements of economic development?

Please help us to initiate the petition

The Experience of a Lifetime

On January 8, 2011, I started an internship in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, Africa. The program I worked with was called Cross Cultural Solutions. I was working in an orphanage, school, and daycare for kids with developmental disabilities for 12 weeks. Organizations like the children's orphanages, daycares, and centers for street children have a lack of available funding and an increase in disease -- including HIV/AIDS -- and leaves many children without available, qualified caregivers. As a CCS volunteer, I was able to provide one-on-one attention and care that these children may not otherwise receive.
