MIMI loves a good cause, and here's another one we just had to share with you ...
International sports apparel manufacturer Puma, Senegalese rapper Akon, and Ghanaian footballer Boris Trenkel are just some of the big names that have lent a helping hand to German-based organization United For Africa. United For Africa seeks to act against the concept of Africa as the "lost continent" and to attract the attention of the German public not only to the poverty of millions of people on the African continent, but also to the people's potential and the continent's signs of hope.
