Excellent initiative everybody! I for one am truly moved by the disasters occurred in Haiti and I cannot imagine the pain and misery those people have to endure... My heart goes out to all of them and especially to the helpless children, who have been deprived of a real chance to a decent life, to education, love, happiness and everything we aim to and don't feel impossible to achieve... for them it is, sadly. Can we make a difference?

We can choose from these organizations (or others, if you find) the most effective or trustworthy ones and help in every way we can - donating money, buying products, contributing somehow to their rescue. We can bring a mild relief to their pain or at least do our best:

There are so many places to start.  I like to "think globally and act locally"  I too am very concerned about Haiti, especially the children and the devastation of natural disasters but also the lack of protection for children resulting in child rape and slavery.  I hope to speak out about these issues because child rape and human trafficking is happening everywhere.

And, in my own backyard in the US, there are children who go to school hungry or don't go to school at all and nobody is paying attention.  Social workers and child protective services are completely overwhelmed and understaffed.   The level of psychological homelessness and spiritual hunger is in the eyes of many young and old, from those who've grown up destitute to those getting the best education in the world... Even a smile at a stranger may go a long way.  That stranger might be the life you save today  just by a small act of kindness.  Volunteer in some local agency serving children and families!

I like Make A Wish Foundation because they seem to have a strong, proven, comprehensive track record.

Ok so first of we need to have a plan to organize this thing. Here's the plan:

1- Selecting an orphanage to donate
2- Making a post or posts if needed to make every member on this forum hear about our campaign.
3- Spread the message about the campaign on Twitter/Facebook etc
4- And finally, making the donation.

Ok, here're the orphanages you guys offered:

a- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
b- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
c- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
d- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
e- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
f- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
g- You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Please let me know if you would like to add more to this list and then we will be choosing the one we will starting to make the change. :) And finally I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contributions to this post. This means a lot to me.

This feels like it's all about the Army collectively doing this together. I'm sure many here already give and support  various charity organizations as individuals. Feels like a mission for MJ's Army of L.O.V.E............love in action.

With Haiti must be very careful, there they are running about 10,000 NGOs and nobody monitors are "black boxes" should be well informed who will have to send donations, I would say that given that there Confucianism Haiti is better to donate food, clothing and medicine, not money.

That can be a good idea. Should I ask TS to make the choice for us? But first of, we need to let everyone learn about this movement. I don't know if it will be a problem if I make a post on different parts of the forum. I'll ask Souza and Mo about it first.

If you really want to make a change and reach the masses, this needs to be more organized. Something is agreed on here and most people haven't even seen the thread. I told you yesterday, take a deep breath first and think it through. It doesn't have to be done right now, we should take the time to organize things, inform everyone and get everyone on the same page, promote it on twitter and with the non-believers etc. This way maybe a handful will donate. It's better to have a thousand people donate in a week, maybe two, than just a handful because you want to rush it.

I als think we should take a look at Badkolo's idea: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

I think this will motivate people and we can work towards a goal. I think $5,000.00 for each charity chosen is a good idea, it should be doable with this many people and it's a lot of money to receive just at once. We also can see whether the money is really donated and no one of us have to manage the money.
I also think we should do a poll first with some verified charities, to and ask everyone on the forum first what they want to start with, because I will say it again: we can't just donate to every charity foundation, we want to make sure the money will reach those who need it, and not the CEOs. Please stop the rush, it won't do good for the amount of people that will donate and we only want verfified and trustworthy foundations. I really hope you won't think again I am being harsh, but this can't be done in half a day and all of us should be involved before we make any decisions.

We don't need TS to choose for us, because we can think for ourselves and I think we will be very able to choose a good first charity, as long as we unite, and that doesn't mean we are already deciding to donate while most of the members haven't even been able to participate in the discussion.

I was about to make the post Souza. Thank you. I'm so excited. This is such an amazing plan! :)

Here's what Badkolo posted and I think it is such a great idea. But still we can continue to talk here about where we can make the donations and who would like to join etc. Pls tell me what you guys think about Badkolo's idea. :)


Quote from: "badkolo"
We can open a Sub Site, There can be a main header/gfx/description etc..
Then a signature list. Each person that donates gets there Name on the Army of L.O.V.E list. The list will be only for the ones that donated.
A specific charity or foundation can be chosen, legaly easier to choose one specific charity or foundation that is verified.
The money that is donated which can be 1 dollar and beyond will go into a special escrow foundation.charity account. It will be overseen by The Escrow company so no Hanky panky can happen in any way and no legal issues can be brought.
Once the Goal is achieved at whatever number that is set(ie, $5000) from the donations which will be shown on top of the signatures then the escrow will announce that money has been sent to the charity/foundation everyone chose to donate to. then a new charity can be chosen from that point on and it just continues.

What ya think.
