Blog Post for 11/1 on SAP project

My post this week is about my group's SAP project, and has to do with a charity my group has selected to be a part of our SAP project. The charity is called FOTC, Friends of the Congo, and has its own website, friendsofthecongo.org. FOTC has two objectives. First being to create networks across the world to connect the Congolese with others internationally. The second being to work with the Congolese to realize the enormous human and natural potential in the Congo.  FOTC has several different aspects of their charity. One aspect is their Youth Program called the Congo Connect Youth Project. It raises money to establish youth centers to raise the standard of living for the 32 million children fourteen and under living in the Congo. Sixty four percent of the 75 million people living in the Congo are twenty four years old or younger. This project creates youth centers called Technology Networking Centers that raise the standard of living by giving the Congolese access to computers, internet, and other digital means. These TNC's would be built by donations, monetary and digital items, given to FOTC, currently there are 3 centers in the Congo. Other ways a person could help with FOTC if they wanted to are teach-ins, making a financial donation, donating digital equipment, organizing a FOTC representative to come to a person's local community, or hosting a Congo Week in a person's community. Congo Week is FOTC's main goal is to educate people on the issues going on in the Congo and to break the silence.
