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.

It is difficult for children today to make the right choices when it comes to healthy eating, especially in an urban setting. Just down the street from our elementary school are two pizza shops, a McDonald's, Taco Bell, and Kentucky Fried Chicken. Simply walking home from school in need of a snack will undoubtedly tempt them to eat something with high fat content and little nutritional value. Many parents are uneducated about proper nutrition and pass along poor eating habits to their children. When picking a child up from school, it is all too easy to cruise through the drive-in window.

The House of Charity is a nonprofit organization which brings children from third world countries to the United States and houses them for a few months so they can get cheaper plastic surgery than what is availiable in their homeland. These kids have been shamed their whole lives because of their disabilities or looks. We are trying to give them a chance to a better, new life so they can feel what I feel; feel what it is to be a kid and have fun with friends and go out and enjoy life.

Children in the city of Rochester face violence and negative influences every day. We give them opportunities to connect with the positive in our community - and a chance to shine as they learn that they are capable and worthy members of our city! What an awesome year they have as they take field trips to area colleges, businesses, parks, museums, artists studios and homes in the area to capture images which they use in our program. They print their own photos, mount and exhibit them in galleries, scan and print them in a professionally produced book.

We are helping rural/tribal and slum community. We have our centres in 4 states of India having our head quarters in Bangalore.The main problem here in these community children is that they join school only for mid day meals and then they drop out.We want to provide an interesting evening centers for these children to learn what they learnt in the school and make the education more interesting. The education we think of here is the Alternative Education and not the conventional education.

I started a Youth in Action Group with a couple of friends to try and make a difference in the world. We call ourselves "Outside The Box." We now have more than 25 members in New Jersey and friends in Texas starting a chapter. Our initial project is to raise $8,500 to build a school in Sierra Leone, Africa through a charity called Free The Children. Free The Children is the worlds largets network of kids helping kids through education. We chose Sierra Leone because of the United Nation's statement that it is the worst place in the world to live and we wanted to help change that.
