We are a group of high school students that realized how fortunate we are and instead of wasting our lives, we should help the people that are suffering.
So far we made a presentation and raised $600!
So our next goal is to send letters to famous singers and ask them to sing songs about events happening in the world and how we can help.
Hello, my name is Alisha. Me and my friends, Christine, Jasmine and Samie were really touched by the video, THE RIVERS. And so we decided we definitely should help! It was our calling! That's how we began to take action. Actually we have been planning to help ever since last semester, but we wanted it to be a freshman thing. It didn't last very long...couple of our classmates weren't that enthusiastic. And so now it just turned out to be a group thing. Yep! But I'm really proud of us. Right after we watched the video, we started brainstorming ideas of ways to help. This is our third day and we have already written a letter to Congressman Mike Thompson, Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, made and a flyer, a poster, planned a presentation and a bake sale that we are going to do this weekend(Memorial weekend). oh ya! and made a website on savedarfur.com. Very, very exciting! I hope we keep it up. We feel like our lives are a lot more meaningful. It makes us extremely happy. Hahaahaa...=D Thanks for reading!
