Doctors Without Borders is a really good charity. They're tough too! I was reading (on their Web Site) how a group of them were being chased by guerrillas.

It's time to stop child trafficking!
The best available estimate is that 1.2 million children are trafficked worldwide every year for exploitation purposes such as forced labor, commercial sexual exploitation, prostitution and servitude, among other forms of slavery.

A Comment By Kossack grover
I *adore* MSF
They go where few will, provide what is necessary; stay as long as they are absolutely needed (in many cases, decades) set up clinics and local personnel to take over, then move on.
It's the classic example of teaching a man how to fish...
And they speak the truth about what they see. They're beholden to no government (all private donations), so they have more freedom to move and to speak out in the most dangerous places on earth!

The DREAM Act-We Won't Give Up! [Update 12/20/10] Dream Act Not Passed!
Adopt A Bubbe Or Zayde
We provide food, medicine, bed linens, clothing, eyeglasses, hearing aids, utility payments, and other items for those unable to exist on their pensions. Since the break up of the Soviet Union in 1991 with the resulting hyperinflation, pensions have become almost worthless. At the same time, food, clothing, medicine and apartments are no longer subsidized by the government, and the prices for these have risen beyond the reach of most pensioners.

Dream Act Not Passed
Dream Act isn't to be for immigrants like Bernard Pastor
Hardly a sound could be heard from the gallery when the legislation failed, but when the students gathered in a room in the Capitol Visitor Center afterward, the tears began to flow.
Pastor was asked to lead the group in prayer. "We need not worry about what can happen today or tomorrow," said the devout, Guatemala-born Pastor, who wants to follow in his father's footsteps and be a minister. "Our day of joy is coming soon."
Then, together, the young people from all over the country who are without a country recited the Pledge of Allegiance

The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (The DREAM Act)is a piece of proposed federal legislation in the United States that was first introduced in the United States Senate on August 1, 2001
Most recently re-introduced there and the United States House of Representatives on March 26, 2009.

Pass the DREAM Act!
This bill would provide certain inadmissible or deportable alien students who graduate from US high schools, who are of good moral character, arrived in the U.S. as minors, and have been in the country continuously for at least five years prior to the bill's enactment, the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency.
The alien students would obtain temporary residency for a six year period. Within the six year period, a qualified student must have "acquired a degree from an institution of higher education in the United States or [have] completed at least 2 years, in good standing, in a program for a bachelor's degree or higher degree in the United States," or have "served in the uniformed services for at least 2 years and, if discharged, [have] received an honorable discharge."
