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.

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.

Autograph4CF is a project I'm doing, where celebrity autographs will be auctioned off to raise money for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to help fund research for a cure. CF is one of the most common genetic disorders, with about 30,000 people affected in the US alone. It affects the lungs and pancreas, and used to be like a death sentence... in the 60s, the lifespan was about 14. Now it's about 37 years, since treatments have improved. However, there's no cure yet.

IN 2005, at least 2.4 MILLION adults and children died in Africa from AIDS. Make a WORLD of a difference, a WORLD away! When: April 30th Where: eBay What: Artistically-acclaimed young author and independent artist David Montalvo will auction an autographed copy of his hit book "Boy with an 'i' " on eBay, donating 100% of the proceeds to the United Nation Foundation's The Global Fund in the fight against AIDS in Africa. Why: Every $9.90 of the highest bid made equates a month’s worth of anti-retroviral treatment for someone with HIV.
