Alderman Fndn Helps Refugees

One billion people have directly experienced terrorism or mass violence. The victims are often left with lifelong mental disabilities preventing them from leading productive lives. Camp internees lead non-sanitary, unsafe, crowded, and hopeless existences. Traumatic depression and suicide are very frequent. Weekly visits by a psychiatric team to a displaced persons camp can help approximately 30 patients per visit. Your gift will help alleviate the mental anguish of some of these people.

TEDsters Against Aging

All of us at TED heard Aubrey's exciting presentation. This drive lets you help. The TED website says: "Aubrey de Grey, British researcher on aging, claims he has drawn a roadmap to defeat biological aging. He provocatively proposes that the first human beings who will live to 1,000 years old have already been born." You can see his talk here: http://www.ted.com/index.php/speakers/view/id/34. Why not do it today; you're not getting any younger!

Robert's Drive for Bikes

Imagine! You can provide a bike that can actually save lives. Community Drug Distributors are volunteers who have been trained to identify the symptoms of malaria and dispense the proper medication, as well as educate communities in Africa about the proper use of malaria medication and insecticide treated nets. A bicycle will allow one of these health workers to cover more territory and treat and educate many more people.

Is Your New Bicycle

For most African villagers the nearest health facility is 10 kilometers away. People with malaria often can’t travel so far, and many children never make it to hospital. Most deaths from severe malaria in childhood could be prevented by prompt administration of effective anti-malarial treatment. Your gift will provide a bicycle for a Community Drug Distributors, enabling her to cover more territory and treat and educate many more people.

Help Build a Schoolroom:Darfur

The amount of human suffering taking place in Darfur is deafening. Communities torn, thousands of lost lives, villages completely destroyed, there are no schools left to attend. The children affected by this violence have very few places to learn the skills they will need to recover. With a few dollars and emails, we can make an impact. Together, we can build a schoolroom and give an entire village of children the opportunity to build a different future.

Shoes send a child to school

Shoes, we all have shoes. Some of us love them & many of us have too many. But in parts of Africa the cost of a pair of shoes is beyond the reach of many families. Simply not having shoes can deny girls the chance of an education. Not only are shoes a school requirement, but also the scorching roads & risk of diseases make them a necessity. $14 can give one girl a pair of shoes to protect her health & help send her to school. An education could really change her life. Imagine what we can do!
