I will focus on the following Global aspects:
- The television commercials that advertise for you to "adopt a child" in a developing country by sending them money

Each issue I address I plan to find some activist organization or group to highlight how they have tried to be a part of the solution. My goal is to give a voice to those orphaned children who often are not able to speak for themselves.
