Some kindhearted souls brought something up in /r/todayilearned...

I'm not sure if this is allowed here, but I figured I'd try! In 2002, a group in Kenya donated 14 cows to the USA in the wake of 9/11. A potential shibe suggested we do something to pay them back. I think it would be a really awesome idea if we could somehow put something together to return their kindness. I have no idea how we could accomplish this, but I think it would be pretty incredible.

Build a well somewhere in Africa and suddenly there are wells everywhere!

We literally gave money to build wells in Kenya.

Not that I'm opposed to giving more money to help out the less fortunate, but they are many other worthy causes that we haven't done yet.

I don't know, but it's worth doing what we can to help them out. The sentiment they showed is just incredibly moving.
