In latest 'Duck Dynasty' news, Willie Robertson's wife Korie revealed that she plans to team up with a faith based organization called Help One Now and travel to Gunchire, Ethiopia in order to help the orphans and other people in need.

"I don't know why I was born to loving parents who made sure all of my needs were met, in a country full of freedom and opportunity and these kids weren't," wrote Robertson in a blog post on the Help One Website after she returned from recent trip to the Dominican Republic.

"There is tragedy and heartache, and these are children who, just like us, need to know they are loved and to know that God, their Father, has a beautiful place prepared for them. Who also, just like us, need healthy food, clean water, a good job and a happy family someday."

Robertson also talked about how her faith in Jesus Christ inspired her to help people in need all over the world.

"He tells us to go the extra mile, to stop and help the hurting on the side of the road, to give food to the stranger that knocks on our door, to take care of widows and orphans, and to be the salt and light in this world. I can't fix all of the problems in our world, but I can fix some. I can partner with people that are doing good work, who are on the ground seeing the massive needs first hand," said Robertson.

The Help One Now organization revealed why they teamed up with Robertson in order to assist at least 4.5 million orphans living in Ethiopia, as a result of HIV/AIDS epidemic effecting the nation, according to the website.

"The education system is poor, and unhealthy marriage practices - including older men with girls as young as 10, polygamy, rape, female circumcision, etc. - are commonplace," said the organization on their website, "Stories inspire people to have compassion and take action. A story helps us feel the reality of those suffering."

Robertson mentioned why she wants to help at least 300 orphans in Ethiopia get sponsored in order to improve their living conditions when she visits the African country in a few weeks.

"When I watch the news today and see all the tragedy and heartache in this world, I admit, sometimes it's hard to see how I can make a difference," said Robertson, "But the stories we will tell while we are on this trip are ones of hope, and I, for one, love that. I hope you do, too. We can so make a difference in these peoples' lives, and we will. And we can't wait to share it with you."
