College is a special chapter of everyone’s lives. It’s four years we can devote entirely to ourselves and to finding what appeals to us professionally, to what helps us get through stressful times, to what we enjoy doing on a Friday night. So when I come across someone who devotes themselves entirely to others during the “best four years of our lives” I have to take the time to find out what his deal is. His name is Andrew Macdonald, and he is a student at Texas A&M University who devotes himself to giving back to others.
Instead of buying himself groceries, he buys them for the homeless. While other students are having parties into the early morning, he’s leaving his door open at all hours, to anyone that needs a place to stay. He’s helped addicts, the homeless, you name it. On top of that, he started the Aggie Front for International Liberation at Texas A&M. The organization works to raise money to send to Touch A Life ministries which works to free child slaves in Ghana. Aggie Front for International Liberation raises money on campus by selling bracelets for five dollars. They send all the money they get from the bracelets to Touch A Life ministries . They are also trying to raise money to help the children get proper care and eventually go to college.
No matter how busy I am with everything else the college life brings, I can definitely take give five dollars to a child in need. Even if you aren’t a student at Texas A&M, look around your campus for organizations that give back!
If you are a student at Texas A&M and interested in this cause, look up “I Freed A Child” on Facebook for more information!
