  Aug 6 2011: Volunteer and work with the community. Corporates should send their staff to the most unfortunate parts of the society to give them hope. In addition they should fund them. I am currently working with Mathare Slum Kids and Youth as a volunteer. I want to set up self-employment opportunities like green houses, fish-ponds, posho-mills, tailoring shops and so on to brighten lives there but I have a big challenge: no funds to do that, no organizations or NGOs are ready to fund me during the 3months I am on the ground. I am stuck. any ideas?
