Concerts for Humanity is a student-run organization at Long Beach Polytechnic. The objective of this club is to raise funds to aid world poverty and victims of AIDS. We do so by organizing benefit concerts and other events. All the proceeds will be part of the efforts to end world poverty and AIDS. We also aim to inform the student body about this much needed cause. We stress the importance of giving to those less fortunate than we are. We work with the ONE Campaign, Bread for the World, World Vision and their partners. Currently, we are sponsoring a boy named Marvin Vindel in the Honduras.

For the fourth year in a row, Muhlenberg College in Allentown, PA is serving with Touch the World Ministries, based out of Allendale, NJ to bring a team of students to Juarez, Mexico as an alternative spring break trip. We will continue on the final stages of construction on a school that was begun in 2005. Over 100 Mexican children are being sponsored by families in the US for $30 a month, an unthinkable price for such a poverty-stricken community. This community of Felipe Angeles used to be a garbage dump, and the families there have built their homes out of whatever they could find.

Los Patriotas, El Club de Español, is a community service club. In short, the students of Sullivan East High School's Spanish Club, Bluff City, Tennessee, discuss and vote on projects they want to support during the school year. The members have decided that for the Fall of the 2007/2008 school year they would like to adopt a community in the Dominican Republic, in particular, the community of Puerto Plata.
