Join Clubs at Punahou to help with the situation. The Impact club is a way individuals such as yourself, a lowely student at Punahou, can help the situation.

Savedarfur.org is a great organization that gives individuals a place to donate money! It also has a great program that lets you enter in your zip code, and finds a group near you to help with the situation in Darfur.


The Situation in Japan and What You can do to Help. (With Gangs)


The media outlet known as Japan Today relassed an article in 2007 about 2 shootings by the gangs in Japan. The writer, Richard Kimber is a journalist from the U.K. who can be reached at (Mobile/cell 080 6586 8148 (from UK 0081 80 6586 8148)) says that,

"Police statistics show that in 2006 they received 2,400 calls for help from local administrations who had been threatened or pressured by gangs over policy decisions — an increase of almost a third in the past six years."

Since the gangs in Japan have a public protest, it wont be long untill the people of Japan do their part to slow it down. Programs have not yet poped up throughout Japan, unlike the programs for Darfur, but it may come in time. For an individual to help prevent gang violence and domestic disturbances in Japan, the best thing to do might be to call local police authorities and help them with anything you know about gangs in your area.

The Situation in Jamaica and What You can do to Help. (With Gangs)

Gang violence in Jamaica is particularlry violent, and violence leads to murdering, and murdering leads to tears. The New York Times did a great article on Jamaican gangs in the ninties. This violence has not ceased since then, and the same problems are here today. The news paper describes the violence as being never ending, a real problem that has exists throughout Jamaica.

"'There won't be any peace at all until we get a big machine gun and wipe all of them out over there,' the man, Winston Peters, said in a thick patois as he peered through a bullet-pocked barricade across the patch of turf that separates his area of West Kingston from that of a rival gang."

What can individuals in America Do about this problem? unemployment is a huge problem in Jamaica. Invest your businises in Jamica and use their labor to create wealth and economic gain for their country.
