A group of concerned students at the Community College of Baltimore County have formed a team determined to bring relief to the people of Darfur and the Sudan. Together we are planning the "Walk For Darfur" which we hope to raise money and awareness not only on our campus but the entire Baltimore-Metro region. We are hoping to pull off the walk on April 12th, 2008, the location and other details are still to come. It is our goal to donate as much money as we can UNICEF, in hopes of bringing food, health care, education and a future for the children effected by the genocide in Darfur.

Student Advocacy for Equitable Recovery (SAFER) : Rebuilding New Orleans

Katerini7 — Mon, 07 Jan 2008 12:05:35 -0600

SAFER takes the direct approach to rebuilding the city of New Orleans, offering free labor to people who would otherwise be unable to afford the cost of repairing their homes. We communicate directly with our families about their needs and their hopes for their rebuilt homes, and with community leaders and organizations about their plans for revitalizing their neighborhood. We realize that rebuilding can be a huge challenge, especially for homeowners who have few funds or also have the responsibility of a job and caring for a family.
