Gavar Special School in Armenia

The Gavar Special School in Armenia is near to our heart because of the time that we spent in Armenia. We had first hand experience living in a society that didn't always accept children with disabilities. Currently, three American Peace Corps Volunteers are working in Gavar and helping the school. Take time to visit their website and help in any way that you can.

Warm Hearth in Armenia

A Peace Corps volunteer established this home in Yerevan, Armenia. "Warm Hearth is designed to meet the needs of orphans as they come of age in Armenia. We provide a continuum of care for the orphaned young adults with mental disability and illness of Armenia through long-term residential care homes. Warm Hearth offers an alternative to the government psychiatric institutions for this vulnerable population. In a safe and supportive environment, the most neglected population of Armenia is given the opportunity to integrate into a community, receive individualized care and experience family for the first time."

Buffalo Field Campaign

"The Buffalo Field Campaign (BFC) is the only group working in the field, everyday, to stop the slaughter and harassment of Yellowstone's wild buffalo. Volunteers from around the world defend buffalo on their traditional winter habitat and advocate for their protection."

Boycott Shell

"Since Shell began drilling in Nigeria's Niger Delta, it has wreaked environmental havoc on the land of the Ogoni. Shell has spilled oil on farmland and in water sources, bulldozed across farms and flared gas just meters from Ogoni villages. The people of Ogoniland suffer extreme health problems from the air and water pollution. The Nigerian military has played a terrifying role in the continued persecution of the Ogoni: when the Ogoni started demanding environmental justice, villages were attacked, villagers killed and their leader was executed by the judgment of a military court. Shell has admitted to paying the military, which brutally silences voices crying for justice from the government of Nigeria and Shell, along with other multinational oil corporations."

Military Free Zone

There are alternatives to the military. Let's make sure our children know about them. "Ending militarism around the world starts with ending militarism at home. We encourage students in this country one by one to OPT OUT of the recruitment process and to speak out against the misleading recruitment tactics of the US military." - Justin Sane, singer of the band Anti-Flag.

Adbusters

"Adbusters is an ecological magazine, dedicated to examining the relationship between human beings and their physical and mental environment.

Sorry Everybody

"Some of us - hopefully most of us - are trying to understand and appreciate the effect our recent election (Presidential Election 2004) will have on you, the citizens of the rest of the world. As our so-called leaders redouble their efforts to screw you over, please remember that some of us - hopefully most of us - are truly, truly sorry. And we'll say we're sorry, even on the behalf of the ones who aren't.st. We want folks to get mad about corporate disinformation, injustices in the global economy, and any industry that pollutes our physical or mental commons."
