Think, Analyze & Share 
The article regarding “Infinite Family” states the endeavor of welfare by providing a platform to various South African teens to connect to someone online who can really assist them by providing knowledge and also consider an opportunity for people to volunteer in welfare purpose. This article explains the spectacular way of usage of technology in exchanging information, guidance and best of all Harmony.
This is a great step in helping the African children specially those who need extra care. They can learn the technology well and can play their valuable role in the society.

In this article, Infinite Family has started computer labs at partner organization sites across South Africa for children, to enhance their language and technology skills, preparing them to compete in the global marketplace. To help the children’ s, learn their basic skills, they need in the future. They are developing relationship through different things or technologies.
Infinite family is a non-profit organization started by Amy Stokes, aims to provide homeless and parentless South African children a platform from where they can connect with caring people around the world through computers.
These children lack severe adult attention and guidance due to many reasons and they came here in hope for finding someone special in their lives.
Using a custom, Web-based technology, Infinite Family has so far connected almost 300 South African teens with nearly 200 volunteer mentors from around the world.
I think the initiative taken by the “infinite Family” the teens and children in South America who are homeless or orphans and who are in their most sensitive age having a parental or adult guide for them, they can really be something, achieve something, just by connecting to someone in the world, just by seeing that someone cares for them can change the whole scenario for them, I think it is a very good and unique idea to help teens to know that if they lost their immediate family, they have a bigger, much much bigger one then they had before, as these children can video chat and also play games as partners and also they can take advice, so it is like a digital home for them.
“just like my parents.”
Nothing in the article could capture my eye speed as the mentioned piece of line. I personally, never imagined my life without parents and if I do so, I am afraid of losing my own identity. Perhaps for the rest of my life I will kepp on stitching my life to put it on one track. Some times, parent become lantern in the darky ups and downs of our lives. Why Buthelezi said so? I thought maybe this is my chance again to have a family. … They’ve been there for me … just like my parents.” Yes!! When we’d have its answer, we would never stop living for our family!
yes! there is nothing just like our parents and family . Nothing is alternate… But are you open enough to make such orphans feel that you are just like their parents?
Infinite family is doing a great job as connecting those children who are facing the worst situation that anyone can imagine and that is that you are living a life without your parents with those people who are not only catering them but also a reason to smile at least for something. Infinite family organization is very much successful in doing this and this noble cause may result in a bright and better future of many orphans.What i think is that infinite family NGO clearly proved that the beauty of africa, the innocent children are no more alone…!
In this article,infinite famaily provides such a great platform for those children who have lost their parents due to HIV/AIDS and face many difficulties and problems in their lives.This platform gives them comfort that someone is there who listen to them and love them.I think they doing well done job for AFRICAN children because they feel happy and say proudly they have the family who cares and love them.This platform possible due to modern technology and its a best way to communicate and interact Orphans and African children.
the article was an interesting read, not only did it keep my eyes engraved into the article but it made me realize the awesome job, this organization, ‘Infinite Family’ is performing by intelligently using technology for not only the purpose of learning but to help them medically and psychologically by providing them access to people around the world to guide, mentor and accompany them. Such an effort can save a million lives from deteriorating.
