challenges you to
GET INVOLVED. NOW.
Save
Darfur mission is to raise public awareness
about the ongoing genocide in Darfur and to mobilize a unified response
to the atrocities that threaten the lives of two million people in
the Darfur region. Darfur has been embroiled in a deadly conflict
for over three years. At least 400,000 people have been killed;
more than 2 million innocent civilians have been forced to flee
their homes and now live in displaced-persons camps in Sudan
or in refugee camps in neighboring Chad; and more than 3.5 million
men, women, and children are completely reliant on international
aid for survival. Not since the Rwandan genocide of 1994 has
the world seen such a calculated campaign of displacement, starvation,
rape, and mass slaughter. www.savedarfur.org
ONE needs
your voice, not your money. ONE is a new effort by Americans to rally
Americans – ONE
by ONE – to fight the emergency of global AIDS and extreme poverty.
ONE is students and ministers, punk rockers and NASCAR moms, Americans
of all beliefs and every walk of life, united as ONE to help make poverty
history. ONE believes that allocating an additional ONE percent of the
U.S. budget toward providing basic needs like health, education, clean
water and food would transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation
in the world's poorest countries. ONE also calls for debt cancellation,
trade reform and anti–corruption measures in a comprehensive
package to help Africa and the poorest nations beat AIDS and extreme
poverty. www.one.org/

running in 39 countries, focusing on healthcare and the prevention
of disease. Almost all of these include response to HIV/AIDS. At
a conservative estimate, between seven and eight million people
are specifically involved in community development responses. These

community ownership. www.salvationarmy.org
Plot Summary: When up-and-coming sports writer Erik Kernan saves a homeless man from a scrape
with a group of rowdy college kids, he unwittingly finds himself face to face
with no ordinary bum, but Champ, the one-time boxing great Bob Satterfield. What
begins as a story resurrecting a once-great man turns into an incredible journey,
and an opportunity for Erik to reexamine his own life, his relationship with
his young son and his recently separated wife. — More here
