Issue(s) I am Passionate About
I really respect the work being done by the folks at Invisible Children (www.invisiblechildren.com). They have started a youth movement to raise awareness and funds about the mistreatment of children in Northern Uganda. This is truly grassroots philanthropy with a powerful impact. If you don't know about this organization I recommend you check it out. They have a great myspace page as well.
An Issue I Would Like to Learn More About
The sexual exploitation of women in the Congo. I recently saw a documentary about this issue that was shocking. There is also a new member on MTDN, called WORTH, that addresses this problem. More people need to be concerned with what's happening over ther.
