The community I'm helping is the worldwide teenage population, and the problem is depression and suicide. In an average year, 30,600 teens commit suicide. This rate is rising. That's 30,600 teens who needed help, and either didn't receive it or just gave up hope. I myself am a teenager who is personally recovering from depression and suicide attempts. The pain I have been through is unimaginable. I WILL NOT let other people suffer like I have suffered. Period.

I plan to help the over one-million Darfurian refugees who have been forced to flee because of the genocide there. I also hope to bring a sharp awareness of this horrific, still-occuring event to the minds of political figures. I recgnize that aid to refugees is not a full solution to the genocide problem, but it will ease the suffering and transtion of many people.

We are trying to raise money for the American Cancer Society, and help to find a cure. Our community is full of people diagnosed with cancer, so by supporting them, we put a smile on their face. All the money is donated to the Cancer Society, and our charity is non-profit. We're hoping this will support cancer research, and that there is a cure found in the near future.

Lets start a simple restraunt where 65% of the money we receive will go to help cancer victims. we need the other 35% for the cost of the food, ect. Anyways, start one, its for a good cause, AND WOULDN'T IT BE FUN???

A party was held, and to get in, you had to doate 2 hygeine items. these were later placed into bags, that were decorated, with soothing pictures and quotes. we then took these bags to a place called the refug house. the refuge house is a temporary shelter for foster children. the kids' faces were so filled with hope and joy, and i was so excited. i felt a sense of accomplishment and hopefully making the children feel a little more welcome at the home. but, it didn't stop there. the refuge house still needed our help. they needed another office, so they were building one in San Antonio, Tx.
