your welcome. ^_^PeinQAkatsuki wrote:Oh. My. God.
Thank yoooooooooou~!!!!! for starting this organization!!!! And thank you for posting this! :DDDD
For those of you who have an account on myYearbook (and those who don't can go to www.myyearbook.com) On there you make this currency called "lunch money". Now, you can do all sorts of stuff with 'lunch money' or LM for short. One of the things you can do is donate to causes which include the fight against AIDS, cancer research, and saving the rainforest. Also, they have one to help stop genocide in Sudan-Darfur.
Also about two years back, there was a CD collaboration made by various artists called "The National Amnesty To Save Darfur" or soemthing of the sort. The Green Day hit Working Class Hero, which is a cover of John Lennon's song of the same title, was derived from this album. Proceeds go to help fight against the genocide.
Also I think there is an organization called Shadow Children to help the children in Darfur. At least, I belive that's how that goes. Maybe I'm wrong. I also think that it was created by the band Fall Out Boy.
:D
but send can openers too. xDTheFirstKnight wrote:Temari wrote:You can do that. start an organization at school or in your community.TheFirstKnight wrote:why don't we send them some canned food.
oh yes! Canned food will make all the difference!
At my high school we make money and send it to them every time we do a dance or something. They're going to protest I think near the capital. :Dquater wrote:As I warned. Most of the food and money you send will NOT make it to the country you send it to but will be confiscated by the Government themselves.
For example, my church has been attempting to send food to Haiti and Cuba for years. But everytime the country's have rejected us. Only in January did Cuba finally allow the money and food we have tried sending there to start going. And that was after our pastor went there with other Jacksonville pastors to plead their case.
There are ways to help genocides, but sending food likely won't.

no, I understand ur point.
Andrew Jackson is definitely my least favorite, and I know I don't like someone else, but I don't recall who that was. I'm indifferent about Obama and Bush. :/ Sorry, I just am. I don't approve of Bush's ethics, and I'm starting to not approve of Obama's. But, I may just be biased. I don't know :/quater wrote:Andrew Jackson was very bleh >_>
It's hard to top President Obama, President Jimmy Carter, and President Clinton, but he's certainly up there.

Temari wrote:In Darfur many people are struggling for survival as they are killed by Janjaweed. Little girls and women are raped and risk getting raped by these janjaweed just going to go get firewood to help feed their families. Many Darfur people are killed.
The only reason Darfurian people are being killed by the Janjaweed is because of the oil and water sources on their land. Now they live in refugee camps surrounded by the Janjaweeds. These poor people need help. We can help them. At my school we've started a club called Buffalo for Africa. I figured someone might be interested in the Genocide of Darfur so I thought i should post this.
There is a number to contact somone for free. 1-800 Genocide (it really works! we've tried it at a club meeting)
