Charity Connect, New Zealand, is hosted by Lisa Lomas, Motivational Radio's Assistant Station Manager. The international show's mission is to feature charities and registered non-profit organizations that are working to make our world a better place. Often times, charities find it difficult to get their message out to the world; they work tirelessly helping their cause, yet have limited avenues to tell others of their work and how they might be able to help. 

Charity Connect featured SHARE the first week in November 2010 to connect their good works with the global community.

The mission of Eyes on Africa is simple.  They provide eye glasses at no cost to the people of Africa who otherwise would have no access to them.  By cooperating with other groups, Eyes on Africa distribute glasses via clinics, schools, and churches. The people receiving the glasses are grateful for the opportunity to see, read, work, and enjoy life more fully. In February 2009, and again in June 2010, founder Sherry Grigsby donated more than 300 pairs of reading glasses to the teachers of the SHARE program. 

Julian Page, founder of Livingstone Tanzania Trust, www.livingstonetanzaniatrust.com, and Mark Grashow, founder of U.S. - Africa Children's Fellowship, met with SHARE board members David Wall and Sean McNamara in New York City to share information and exchange ideas for promoting education in Tanzania.
