There’s no better way to make a difference than to become an active advocate yourself. Tell your friends and family about this valuable mission, and support those who are most vulnerable.“It takes a village to raise a child” Afrikicks loves the proverbs “It takes a village to raise a child” or “If you want to go fast, go alone, if you want to go far, go together.”

Simply put these two profound statements are all about collective social responsibility. “It takes a whole village to raise a child” reflects on a social reality that some of us who grew up in rural areas of Africa can easily relate to. As a child my conduct was a concern of everybody, not just my parents, especially if it involved misconduct. Any adult had the right to rebuke and discipline me and would make the mischief known to my parents who in turn would also administer their own ‘punishment.’ The concern, of course was the moral well-being of the community. In the same reasoning, we may have the ability to articulate our goals on a page in ink, but certainly we do not have it in our power the ability to carry the mission alone and succeed.
