around the world, from global radio broadcasts to newspapers
in Africa. Below are links to two excellent pieces about
Amend that are available online.

article from The Christian Science Monitor that
gives a smart, concise description of our programs.
Also, be sure to listen to the journalist's audio
piece describing road conditions in Africa – it
is vividly descriptive. |
Additionally, Amend executive director Jeffrey Witte has
been interviewed numerous times about childhood road safety
for children for various media, including an informative
article in Newsweek,
which you can read

Africa. You can download a PDF of an article from the popular
