Since there is the subject of what charity to donate to, how about the invisible children fund. Check out this
Site It is amazing what these children go through every night, just to be safe as they sleep, the camps that these families live in are horrible aswell.

Whats great about this charity is that all of the money would go straight to the children for school, and for food and wells in the displacement camps.

The story is realy amazing so just check out the site and tell me what you think.
In northern Uganda for more than 20 years there has been a civil war. The LRA or lords resistance army abducts children as young as five to conscript into their army. These children are exposed to violence, and death, they are then forced to kill another child to get a weapon to forcibly fight against the government. The children out of fear, every night leave the villages and hike miles to get to the city where they can safely sleep for the night in hospitals and bus stations. This happens every night, and has been going on for years. The government has diplaced many of the villagers to IDP camps, where they are packed in with little food, water, or shelter.
let me know what you all think about this idea.
