Can Collection: Take local malnutrition into your own hands by asking guests at your next party or BBQ to bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank.


Past Actions

Poverty

  • School Supplies: Put together a package of colorful school supplies for a classroom in need in your community. New crayons, markers and other goodies are a treat they’ll treasure.

Education

  • Be a mentor: Offer to mentor a young person in your community who is interested in your career path.

Health

  • Malaria Awareness: Malaria is one of the leading causes of death for children in developing countries, but most people don’t know much about it. Learn about the causes of malaria, then raise awareness by sending an e-mail out to your contacts.

Sustainable Development

  • Save Water: This week, conserve water and energy by taking a shorter shower or turning off the tap when you brush your teeth.


Giving every child in the world a basic education would cost about $10 billion a year. That's less than Americans spend on ice cream.
