In doing this project I hope to bring patriotism back to my community. After we first went to war, the whole country happily displayed yellow ribbons, and tried their hardest to support our troops. Now, six years later, I feel like that patriotism has diminsihed.
As the country comes to grips with the violent tragedy that took the lives of 13 and injured 30, we at DoSomething.org are taking this opportunity to focus on the mental health crisis that plagues our nation’s armed forces. The issue can no longer be ignored.
The background
The man suspected of a deadly rampage Thursday at Fort Hood was a military psychiatrist whose had turned against the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but was about to be sent overseas, his cousin told Fox News.

Children of Northern Uganda are being taken from their homes and forced to be a part of the Lord's Resistence Army(LRA)'s sectarian guerrilla army.
Tragedy struck a Texas army base today, as at least one gunman opened fire at the U.S. Army’s largest base, Fort Hood.
Army officials confirmed up to 12 people dead, and at least 31 wounded. The shooter was a U.S. soldier and was shot several times but is reportedly in stable condition. Eyewitnesses at the scene said there may have been more than one shooter and the Army has apprehended two other soldiers that are possibly suspects.
Obama addressed the nation to issue his condolences to the families of the victims and more news is expected in the coming hours.

Im trying to put a smile on kids faces. As you know some times there are todlers and babies who arent lucky enough to spend christmas at home, but instead have to sit in the hospital.
I am really trying to get some money together in order to make this happen.

I live in a small town in Georgia, but it's not all white picket fences. We have drug abuse, academic problems, and abuse problems in the community especially with the middle and high school students. There is always a drug bust in our county every other week and if we were able to speak to our peers and give them help if they need it the drug abuse rate would drop. A problem that ties in with the drug problem is the academic problems at the school. In past years, the school use to be at the top in academics, but now scores are so low that we are a "needs improvement school".

I am attempting to solve a problem which has been an ongoing issue in my community and the surrounding area. Gangs and violence have been a serious problem prevelent in RI and i will attempt to reshape the attitude of youth throughout the city. In this way i will be able to create a more vibrant community and bridge the gap between different ethnic,racial, and socieoeconomic backrounds.

The fact that there are thousands of young people across the US and the world who have important stories to tell. These stories can not only entertain, but also inspire and create real change in the world. Through film and the powerful filmmakers behind the camera, millions of people can be inspired.
