So, next, Oprah expressed her interests in giving back with a focus on education in the media and soon she received an invitation to visit South Africa from Nelson Mandela. You might have known that Oprah was a philanthropist; but did you know why?

Knowing her search had been focused on development organizations working with women, I figured MAMA fit into that category and left it at that.

Finally, and this is a bonus suggestion; figure out how to sell goods manufactured in Africa under your brand. Africa, especially, has a very small manufacturing base.

But you could bring still more money and benefit to Africa if you could figure out how to have those and other items manufactured there.
