HELP ME HELP THEM!

Hi Steemians,

I'm Giorgio and what I'm asking you to do is to take some seconds of your life to read this post, maybe not because is catchy and good written, but just because my intentions are truly pure and I really believe in you,

 SO PLEASE GIVE US A CHANCE.

A village near Watamu, Kenya.
This is Rafael, a not even 3 years old child already working to help his father sell as many rocks as possible.

Rocks are the cheapest raw material to build their houses and sell them is what produces the income of this 8 members family (soon 9).

I don't know if you can get it from the picture but they are wonderful... inside and out.

Poor families don't have money to pay water, food, clothes and obviously neither the children's School semester fee
(10 euros).
They are so brilliant and THEY ARE SURVIVING everyday, living hand-to-mouth in a never-ending loop, but despite everything THEY KEEP ON FIGHTING and, as their home falls down in the rain season, every year they rebuild it up stronger, always with that invincible smile on the face...

That's how they do it:

Something has changed in me since I've been to Africa... since I knew these guys... absolutly wonderful souls and Now I'm here on Steemit because I've decided to dedicate this profile and MY ENTIRE LIFE TO HELP WHO REALLY NEEDS!
In April I'm going back to kenya and, as a private, i'm here to humbly ask you to HELP ME HELP THEM.
Please Steemians Give me the power to change their reality.

FLOUR

We caught this beautiful lady working on the mais fields to give her some flour.
They eat flour everyday, because it costs 70 eurocents/kilo.

GOAT

Goats are happy here because they are free to move around and find a partner.
They provide milk and another little goat every 5 months, that's why the female costs a little more: 20 euro.
Only one goat can save a family.

COW

The Cow is a luxury animal here and it can cost also 50 euros. A cow can save many lives.

MAIS, Flour Self-production

One my goals would be change their wrong ideas behind agriculture... It seems obvious that they should select and prepare the ground before planting, removing rocks from it etc... but they don't... they prefer to completly rely on god and planting around randomly.
(I'm going to discover the amount necessary to create a real mais garden that does his best)

They also eat wild fruits! :)

From now to April Guys!
Everything goes to them!
As a proof of my good intentions obviously I will post everything in the future!
Thank you so much for reading this and please, tell me what is your opinion :)
Stay tuned, and MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE!
