The 12 Days of Christmas post for today offers a snapshot of the Ed Colina Foundation. Begun in 2009, the organization strives to offer food, water, medical help, and a host of other services to the needy, concentrating particularly on Africa. The members of the foundation consider their efforts a kind of journey to a better life for the people they help. To help illuminate their story, they offer several online videos.
