We currently don't have up to date technology in most of our classrooms. I would like to raise money to buy a Smartboard that can be used almost daily in the music classroom.

Tremont is located in the West Bronx, has a population under 45,000. For decades, Tremont has been one of the poorest communities in America, over half the population lives below the poverty line and receives public assistance (AFDC, Home Relief, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicaid). The neighborhood is now predominantly Dominican with a significant longstanding Puerto Rican and African American population.
Many social problems associated with poverty from crime to drug addiction have plagued the area for some time.

Being diagnosed with cancer is devastating, but it is even worse for kids who are diagnosed with less known cancer. When my cousin was diagnosed with Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer in the soft tissue area, he went through many chemo and radiation treatments, including major surgeries. When conventional treatments did not work, his options were limited, receiving clinical trial treatments that were developed for more common type of cancer patients. Research for this type of cancer needs financial support so young patients will have more treatment options and improved life expectancy.

On 30 September and 1 October 2009 Western Sumatra, Indonesia was rocked by two severe earthquakes, one with a magnitude of 7.9 and the other 7.0. The quakes left more than 200,000 homes damaged, many to the point that they are now uninhabitable. Even two months later, families struggle to build temporary shelters, clear away their devastated homes and begin the rebuilding process.

San Jose de Cusmapa is a rural municipality in northern Nicaragua comprised mostly of subsistence farmers. The district contains twenty-six separate communities: an urban capital of roughly 1500 people and a dispersed rural area of more than 5500. Although residents of the capital utilize an intermittent water and electric supply, the vast majority of rural residents lacks these amenities, as well as access to basic health care.

I am trying to stop poverty and starvation. I would like to give food to people who cannot have warm meals themselves. I would also like to give clothing to those who need it.

I am an American living in Sichuan China and have attended Chinese public school since first grade. I started my project my first year of Chinese High School when I met a classmate named Yang Xing Xu , a member of the Qiang minority group. The Qiang are a minority people group in the mountains of Sichuan, China, with a long history and complicated multi dialectal language. In recent years, due to increased use of Mandarin Chinese coupled with the fact that the Qiang have no written script, their language and culture has experienced a rapid decline.

Lately, deaf community has hot issues with deaf children got cochlear implant and deaf students went to mainstream public school instead deaf school. Which those issues are very dangerous for deaf comminity because it can be fade out deaf community due with some deaf schools in United States start to closed because of not enough number of deaf students.
