Some More Charities!

Does anyone know if there is a way to make a poll online here so we can decide which charity to donate to? It would be a good way to get people to actually use the blog- and it's more organized than a poll taken at a meeting.

Anyway, here are a two other charities I have found: 

This group donates to a few different Darfur-related charities, however, I don't know how much we really want a middleman involved.

This charity is aimed at improving the lives of children in the remote villages of Darfur. It is unique because instead of focusing on the refugees themselves, the aim is to help prevent people from becoming refugees in the first place. It's a British charity, but they accept donations in American dollars, too.

PS- This article was interesting and yet disgusting at the same time. Louis Vuitton is suing the "Divest For Darfur" Charity for using a bag that resembles a Louis Vuitton design in a highly circulated picture. It's not like this organization was using it to profit personally, you'd think that a company would WANT positive advertising connections to such a great cause. 

Well, that's all I have to say for now. I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!
