Letter from Unicef Denmark's Secretary General, accompanying the Unicef 18-01-2010: Situation Report from UNICEF in HAITI (see below) From: Steen M. Andersen, UNICEF Denmark ([email protected]) Sent: 18 January 2010 at 17:10:46 To: Nancy Kirsten Boysen Dear Nancy Kirsten Boysen As you know, the earthquake in Haiti has caused massive destruction and hundreds of thousands of wounded and traumatized children who need emergency relief. The disaster has now reached a scale that calls for extraordinary measures - from relief workers in Haiti and from us in UNICEF Denmark collecting money for relief efforts. Therefore we decided to share the latest Situation …

URGENT petition in relation to PAKISTAN Pakistan: debt vs. lives‏ Dear Friends, As Pakistan struggles to rescue families from flood waters and fend off disease and starvation before winter sets in, it is scrambling to pay out a shocking 30% of its annual budget revenues to foreign creditors on debt incurred by previous dictatorships. If Pakistan is obliged to make these debt payments, rescue efforts for tens of millions of people whose lives have been devastated could be crippled. Earlier this year, we persuaded creditor governments to drop Haiti's debt after it was devastated by an earthquake -- and now we could do the same for Pakistan. Right now int…

In the United States, education is taking a turn for the worst. Thousands of teachers are being laid off, and classrooms are suffering greatly from budget cuts. Students ranging in age from 7 years old up to 16 year old banded together to support the teachers that made a difference in their lives. Background music is set to Coldplay's "Square One". Click on the Link: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlUVkroOzAg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlUVkroOzAg[/ame] For many people, school sucks, but regardless of your personal feelings about school, you cannot deny how important it is for kids who are just starting their own lives.

AVAAZ's APPEAL - CANCEL HAITI's DEBT! Received 28.1.10 It's shocking: even as aid flows in to Haiti's desperate communities, money is flowing out to pay off the country's crushing debt -- over $1 billion in unfair debt racked up years ago by unscrupulous lenders and governments. The call for full cancelation of Haiti's debt is building steam across the world, and has won over some leaders -- but other rich lender countries are rumoured to be resisting. And time is short: G7 finance ministers could reach a final decision next week at their summit in Canada. Let's raise a massive global call for justice, mercy and common sense for the people of Haiti in this hou…

APPEAL FROM OXFAM: HELP HAITI TODAY AND TOMORROW CANCEL THE DEBT Our biggest concern right now is dealing with the immediate aftermath of the humanitarian disaster caused by the devastating earthquake. But in our concern to help those suffering, let’s not forget the long term. The world’s attention is focused on Haiti. Leaders are pledging to stand shoulder to shoulder with the people and help them to build a brighter future out of the rubble. The debts that Haiti owes will hamper efforts to rebuild the country and lock them in poverty for years to come. Leaders are meeting in Montreal on Monday to decide on the amount of aid that they will give. The Interna…

Hey everyone! I spent all afternoon helping with the donation drive at the Haitian Embassy. It was crowded, wet, and absolutely chaotic but very rewarding! Hundreds of us volunteers packed thousands upon thousands of donations into bags and boxes, and loaded them into U-Hauls to continue their journey to Haiti :nice: I talked to some coordinators, and they're probably going to need help with these donations for a while. They basically told me that if I dropped by anytime, I could help out. So if any of you live in the DC area and have spare time (*COUGH* tomorrow is MLK day, a national holiday, and seeing as it's supposed to be a day of service... *COUGH*), you shou…

I already posted this on the other thread, but I hope it is OK to post a thread on its own so Californians may spot the opportunity more easily to help some of those families devastated by the recent floods in the Philippines. A member here, Ioshi, has a friend in California who can ship any in-kind donations, whatever you can spare, for free if you can deliver them to her. Here is Ioshi's message (she cannot get online at the moment herself): Message from Ioshi: As you already know, I'm at Bulacan at the moment, people from around our farm lost their homes as they got caught in landslides. Oh and my Dad's crops got destructed too. That's sad cos most of these ha…

A thread devoted to your ideas, thoughts, and inspiration about offering hope to those in need on the African continent... I had a thought about those poor Somalis who have turned to piracy to alleviate their poverty; this is what happens anywhere when people become desperately poor - resource wars, crime, etc. - anything to survive, and some angst against those who have. In America, at one time, it was Bonnie and Clyde - and the depths of poverty that led to desperate acts, also gave them cover during poverty times in the US.Bonnie and Clyde - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia To change the situation, and reduce the odds of people turning to the extreme, it would b…

Fair Trade ... backed by the Mayor. SOUTH Tyneside has been celebrating Fairtrade Fortnight, which highlights the importance of buying produce that gives farmers a fair deal. Remember when it was fashionable to Make Trade Fair? Stars like Coldplay's Chris Martin lined up to promote the cause, and everybody wore the associated Make Poverty History wristbands. The Oxfam campaign was part of the Global Call to Action Against Poverty and, although it may have drifted from the public eye, it is still a big issue. Martin Luther King once said: "Before you've finished your breakfast this morning, you'll have relied on half the world." It's an interesting, but …
