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!

SAAM Sexual Assault Awareness Month, April

=crystalofchaos:iconcrystalofchaos: reports, 15h 29m ago
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.

Art Against Domestic Violence

=peterdawes:iconpeterdawes: reports, November 16, 2008
During our campaign to raise awareness for domestic violence, we received many gripping, emotive, and thought-provoking submissions by those of you interested in helping to raise awareness. Many of you had personal stories to tell and we have been thankful for each and every one of you who have stepped forward to speak out against this injustice in our society today.

One of the most poignant pieces shared with us came from =Shy-Too-Shy, a survivor of domestic violence herself.


Photographer: `Pelicanh; Models: =Shy-Too-Shy and =PerryGallagher

But that was only one of several gripping images and pieces of art - visual and written - shared with us. The others are featured below, but...

Don't let it end here.

Men and women alike continue to suffer from domestic violence attacks in alarming numbers. Continue to tell your stories, share the message with others, and donate to the cause in some way, be it with your time, money, or art. The more this issue is kept in the public eye, the more chance that its victims can find help and healing.

This ribbon and these stamps, courtesy of =Obsidian-Siren and =MistRaven remain available for you to raise awareness.
