Causes, Organizations, and Such,

[Okami]

So, I find that organizations and causes do a lot of good in this world...

I personally support,

Women at Risk International - http://www.warinternational.org/

help for women caught in dangerous areas in their life

Rapha House - http://www.raphahouse.org/

help for women caught in sex slavery

HeartSupport - http://www.heartsupport.com/

help for those caught in eatring disorders, suicide, addiction, and self-harm

The HopeLine - http://www.thehopeline.com/

a partner of HeartSupport, the support for the heart

To Write Love on Her Arms - http://www.twloha.com/

the story of a young girl caught in many downward spirals; addiction, suicide, self-harm, etc. It provides money for treatment of others and education against the stigmas of these issues (My personal favorite of this list, I have done a LOT of work for and with these guys)

XXXChurch - http://xxxchurch.com/

help for those caught in porn addiction

All of these causes have personally helped me or touched my heart. As a Psychology major, it is understandable as to why addiction and child trafficking can be so close to me. I want to know why people do such things. I also want to know how to help. To all of these causes I've donated time, prayer, and money in some shape or form.

These are mine, and I would like to know what yours are.

(Be sure to link to them so others can take a look at what they do!)

I'm pretty much only involved in World Vision: http://home.worldvision.org/

It is basically an organization that has you support a child in poor third world countries such as Africa and send them money so they may have proper education/food/water wells dug up in their towns/etc.

Oh how I wish I could be so optimistic as you two...

Unfortunately, I'm too bound to my realism-based ways...

I help out my local doctor's surgery if that counts for anything.

I forgot to add to my list WorldVision (As Wraith did) and also Compassion International - http://www.compassion.com/ which also helps support children in third world countries. My family sponsors a little girl from India...well, she's almost fourteen now, not so little anymore! I've done some minor things for these causes as well...probably the reason why I forgot them.

Another great way to help starving people around the world is got to Freerice.com , play the game and/or install their toolbar. Then, with each 5 searches you perform with that toolbar, you gain 2500 rice grains, you can donate up to 5000 grains of rice per day.

When you play the game, sponsor banners appear on the bottom of your screen. The money generated by these banners is then used to buy the rice. So by playing, you generate the money that pays for the rice donated to hungry people.
