THE PROBLEMS:
Nearly one in four children in Mali dies before the age of five. This problem is particularly bad in urban slum neighborhoods. Slum residents have few rights. Most are squatters who receive little help from their governments.Communities refuse to pay taxes until the government provides services, and the government refuses to provide services until the communities pay taxes. This deadlock continues indefinitely, leading to terrible infrastructure, crippling poverty, and poor health.

Me and my friends want to help save the people in Darfur. The reason we're doing this is because we believe that God wanted us to help others in need rather than kill them and if we didn't do anything to help them we would be killing them and we're not murderers! We plan on helping by holding a bake sale, carwash sponsered silences and anything else we can think of!

You probably thought genocide was over long ago, but about three years ago there was an outbreak in Sudan. People in Sudan are trying to make a life threatening journey to Chad where possibly they'll escape the terrors that torn down their villages and destroyed their families. These people need medical attention and basic needs such as water and food. I figured that somehow everyone could donate money to an organization to save the thosands of people.
