My older brother ‘the chef’ is becoming more seriously involved in development work which I am thrilled about. He is currently interning part time on top of his busy restaurant schedule at Retrak America based out of Washington D.C. The nonprofit organization started in Uganda but now has programs in several African countries to support street children. Please take a moment to check out their site www.retrak.org. At the bottom you will find a link to their facebook and twitter page. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you start to follow and contribute to this wonderful organization.

HOW CAN ONE GET INVOLVED?
I just spoke with my brother and he told me that if you are in the UK you can participate in activities initiated in the Manchester office. The U.S. office in D.C. also has many activities such as a bike ride fundraiser set for Saturday September 15th. If you click on the website links for either the UK or U.S. you can get much more information on getting involved. You can like their two Facebook pages and follow their LinkedIn & Twitter pages to get updates as well.

This is probably the most helpful link to you – ‘Ways I can help?’ tab on the U.S. website:

Lastly, simple donations are always needed and appreciated as well as sharing all these links and posts with family and friends to spread the word.
Thanks for you interest to help and support this cause!
