We want to create a project that will transform the relationship between the world's richest and poorest and create an advocate. We plan take people to a remote rural villages in Africa to live, sleep and eat with a family living in poverty. In a few short weeks we will break all those stereotypes, educate and allow someone a once in a lifetime opportunity that will stay with them forever. Creating an advocate against poverty.
