Vehicle Promotional Video
John Woehrle and Bill Carlson use recent footage of film shot in Sierra Leone to demonstrate why Global Action Foundation and Kposawa Foundation are in desperate need of donated suvs. Roads in Sierra Leone are poorly maintained and difficult to navigate. Lives of children dying from severe malnutrition, amputees and their families and young students making their way to school each day need reliable transportation. Our organizations need your help.

Lest We Forget....
USA For Africa - We Are The World
USA for Africa (United Support of Artists for Africa), was the name under which forty-five predominantly U.S. artists, led by Harry Belafonte, Kenny Rogers, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie, recorded the hit single "We Are the World" in 1985. The song was a US and UK Number One for the collective in April of that year. The considerable profits from the enterprise went to the USA for Africa Foundation, which used them for the relief of famine and disease in Africa; critics, however, claim that this money went directly to the (often military) governments of the affected countries rather than the people. A recording of the live performance was released with the Live Aid DVD set released on November 8, 2004.
