Hey all, Happy Monday!
I wanted to let the community know about a great cause I just joined today. It's called Mocha Club, and it helps to support various charities in Africa. Basically, you pay 7 dollars a month (the price of two coffee house mochas :)) and you choose where it will be put to good use. I chose to help rebuild Sudan.
Another cool point about this cause is that you create your own group with a social networking profile, and are able to invite friends to join your group and make a donation as well. If anyone would like to join my group for 7 dollars a month, here's my group URL. :) Peace and love!!!
Here is some more info about the cause I'm supporting as well:
Darfur has been entangled 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 internally displaced-persons (IDP) camps in Sudan.
By supporting "Sudan Regrowth," you will be sustaining two projects:
The first is in the village of Nyamlel, where you will help fund an
orphanage for 400 children that have fled as orphans, as well as
provide care and rehabilitation for former sex slaves. This work
provides all the necessities, including medical care and education.
The second is the relief efforts for
those who have fled to the wild with no shelter. You will provide
mosquito nets to prevent malaria, wells for clean water, tarps that
serve as shelter from the elements, food, and desperately needed
medication.
Two Rebel Groups have the political aim of compelling the government of
Sudan to address underdevelopment and the political marginalization of
the region of Darfur. In response, since early 2003, the Sudanese
government's regular armed forces and the Janjaweed (gov’t backed
militia) have targeted civilian populations and ethnic groups from
which the rebels primarily draw their support. Please become an active
part of the solution.
