I'm terrible with names, so I don't remember who brought up the idea in class yesterday. I've been searching the internet for some information and I've come across some websites that might point us in the right direction.
CNN's Impact your world: http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2007/impact/
It lists a bunch of charities and groups them according to area of focus.
Charity Navigator: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=content.view&cpid=1004
Rates charities and provides tips
I read that the best way to help is to give financial aid because those down there helping have a better understanding of what supplies they need and it saves on shipping costs.
I've never done something like this, so I'm not really sure the proper procedure. Maybe we can collect change from students on the oval, sell hot chocolate, set up buckets in different buildings on campus? If anyone is familiar with stuff like this, I'm willing to help out.
