Rock for Rolls

Aggies for Africa has teamed up with Shine on Sierra Leone, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people in Sierra Leone come out of poverty. We are trying to raise money to build a bakery for a community in Sierra Leone. On Monday we are having a Rock Band competition with the grand prize being tickets to an exclusive Rock Band party in Los Angeles with guests including Beyonce, John Mayer and Usher. Bread has quickly become one of the biggest staples in Sierra Leone. By building a bakery we will be providing a means of income and a source of food for a whole community. It is exciting to be part of an organization that is proactive in helping make a difference. It seems so easy to look at large issues facing our nation and world and say that they are too big for one person to do anything about. Aggies for Africa has helped me see that any amount of effort is positive and that small actions can lead to big changes. Now I just need to find my costume so I can go rock out for a good cause!
