A different international charity that works directly with children is chosen in a different part of the world each year. Various charities all over the world are researched and the committee discusses each potential recipient based on the following criterion:
• the location has not been chosen in the past
• is located outside of the United States
• helps to benefit children (example – orphanage)
• the donation will have a positive and noticeable impact
• the charity should be represented by a small organization in need of help

Screaming For The Silenced

Screaming For The Silenced — Thu, 05 Jun 2008 10:07:08 -0500

We are trying to raise money to help benefit Darfur. We would love to see the wars and mass killings stop in Sudan. We want the children there to live to see the next year, without fear of the Janjaweed.

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.

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.

Play For The Planet

I would like to start a sand volleyball tournament and cook out at the Band Shelter on 23rd Street in Bettendorf, Iowa this summer. There are two courts there, so we could have two pools of teams playing at once. The champion form each bracket would play in the end. ALL MONEY EARNED WOULD GO INTO BUYING TREES, which would be planted around the city. I am going to try to see if Wallaces Garden Center (or some other local garden center) will sell us trees for a discounted price. If possible, I also would like to hold a barbeque for any hungry people nearby.

Spring Fashion for Freedom

This charity will benefit teen homelessness. As a former teen who was homeless, there are not enough intiatives to help them. A lot of times, as teens, we are self-conscious of our clothing, especially when we are homeless, and lose a lot of clothing as we move from place to place. I want to do a fashion show that will showcase clothing made by original designers, and will feature the message that clothing can be cheap, affordable, and accessible to homeless teens.
