My Nonprofit Reviews

Dawn Malcolm of Lighting the Path makes trips to Burkino Faso to work with the needy families there showing them how to create things to sell enabling them to better support theirselves and their families. They are shown many different ways to make a better life for their families. It is a selfless act as there is no financial reward for her work, only the gratification for helping others, relying on her own financial resources. One example is a young woman who was deaf, but misunderstood by her friends and families, was shown how to communicate thru sign language by Dawn. Another example is a young woman whose arm was cut off by her husband, and Dawn is in the process of finding her a prosthetic arm, at Lighting the Path/Dawn's own expense. She has taken used baseball uniforms for the kids, only she can identify all the things she has done. She has traveled there even with the knowledge that there has been currently some unrest.
