Generation Iraq ----- Generation Iraq is one of the few Western charities still operating in Iraq. It was founded in 2006 by a remarkable woman named Tamara Quinn. Tamara is an Iraqi-American who almost immediately after the fall of Baghdad got on a plane and traveled to Iraq for the first time in 30 years to see if she could help Iraqis recover from the war and decades of oppression under Saddam Hussein. While there, Tamara co-founded a women’s rights organization, worked with the Coalition Provisional Authority, and over time, developed a special interest in assisting Iraqi children.

Heal The Rift is a non-profit, non-political organization started by college students from the Muslim and Western worlds to promote dialogue and understanding between the two cultures. Our main objective is to begin changing the perspectives and misconceptions that stand in the way of peace and reconciliation between the Islamic World and the West. We want to give moderate voices on both sides a platform for mass expression, thereby counter-balancing the disproportionate amount of negative images of both cultures in the public consciousness.

The Old City of Hebron is a highly disputed territory at the heart of the Palestinian and Israeli conflict. International aid has focused on critical conflict intervention as well as medical and nutritional assistance. The children of the Old City, particularly the boys, are exposed to disruptive checkpoints, detentions, toxic tear gas, extended curfews, and physical searches. These affronts erode bodily sovereignty, both mentally and physically, which is vital to the development of healthy self-esteem.

4 Peace was founded in October of 2006. Our various projects are innovative, well-organized and staffed with energized membership, but find themselves hampered by a lack of funding. The members of 4 Peace are aware of "Do Something” ’s reputation as a socially responsible and equitable community member, and believe our organizations are dedicated to the same goals. 4 Peace aspires to begin our work as soon as we possibly can, but we need help to do so. We therefore ask for the honor of your consideration for a Plum Grant.

We are a small group of home schoolers that have been studying Nobel Peace Prize laureates for the past two years. We were studying the Dalia Lama and learned that he has peacefully been working towards peace in Tibet. In the spring of 2007 we created a peace garden at our local community park. We made this garden to help bring peace to our community and create a place for citizens to go to enjoy themselves and experience peace. It's a round garden of about 16' diameter placed near a wooden bench with a redbud tree in the middle.
