Smile If I Won The Lottery

I would buy my son and his wife a house, they live with me. I would make sure my daughter in law could stay home with her sons, she is a great mom. Then I would attempt to wipe out child slavery in Ghana. It costs about $4,200 a child, as young as four. This supports them for 2 years with education. Teaches their parents a trade, so that they dont sell them again. Also buys tools for the slave owner, or trains him in a new profession, then he will not buy more child slaves. They estimate the numbers to be in the low thousands, this sound doable with just several million dollars, it is also a chance to change what has been going on for hundreds of years in that part of the world.
