The first step is to be informed, which you have already done.
Use your talents! Last year one school did a walk commute for the children of Uganda in which many students stayed in a school for twelve hours and walked, similar to what children in Uganda have to do to survive and to be safe from the rebels. This activity raised money and created awareness throughout our community. There are many other ways in which one can help; for example by means of fundraisers to help the needy and the impoverished. Remember: start locally. Get your friends and family involved.
One can donate money, but if that is not an option, community service is also available. One can join the Peace Corps or any other volunteer institution. I’m sure they would be grateful for any assistance, and would welcome individual and community initiatives.
We need to ensure the people their deserved and inherent rights. We all are created equal and have the right to live peacefully. We feel that the fulfillment of these rights in those unlucky corners of the Earth should be a priority in everyone’s mind.
We have the tools to make a difference!
