Giving to those who are truly in need

=ImaRawkStar:iconImaRawkStar: reports, December 23
This is the time of year of which we all get tangled up in our own troubles and do not focus on some of the real issues of the world. Well, heifer.org can help us with this, by giving animals to families who are truly in need of food, shelter and security.

By donating a small sum of money, such as ten to twenty dollars, you could provide a family with an animal such as a cow, which could produce milk for the family, for food and cooking. With the extra milk it produces, the family can go to the local market and sell the milk to gain more money, which could go towards food and shelter. Over time, the family will start to gain an income and will be able to earn an education.

With the education, they can receive a steady job and produce a stable income for the family to survive. Just by donating a small sum of money, you could not change one life, but many around them. But this is not just it, the family MUST produce offspring to give to another family, which will do the same thing as the family before. Over time, the community will grow and sooner or later, the impoverished areas will start to gain strength.


Even if you can not donate any money, please donate a few seconds or minutes by adding a favorite to this article and sending it on to other deviants around deviantart. It would be really awesome if we could get some support on this, and maybe as an art community we can pull together to help others in need! I know it can be done!

When did it suddenly become cool to hate everything? It's a growing problem, especially in the entertainment world, and no one benefits from an increasingly hard to please, pessimistic audience.

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

Rape is not just a crime, it is a heinous and personal invasion on the most intimate of levels. Rape destroys lives and belittles its victims. End the silence, conquer fear, and speak up. We need to raise awareness and help prevent this inhumane crime.

Well, Enexodia, it sounds like you support the bill. In the case of dead or unconcerned artists I could support legalizing use by others. However, I did read the article and it appears that they are trying to slip a well financed private interest by us. In particular the creation of private registries to regulate what is orphaned and what is not. Orphan works already exist (i.e. abandonware). If the bill were simply a proposed solution for artists or fans who wish to update or redistribute these abandoned creations then I would support it too. However, this would be legal extortion. You pay private parties not to use your work or suffer any consequences that may occur. While it holds a certain "mafia" romanticism, there is a reason why such behavior is illegal on the streets, as it should continue to be in the world of art and creativity. And so I urge everyone here to sign petitions, write your congressman, whatever you can do to stop this from happening.

WTH?! Art stealing LEGAL?! did I read it right?! Outrageous!!!!
