That's a fantastic goal, good for you! If you'd like to something besides donate money (which is a worthy enterprise, and I know you've gotten lots of good advice on it), check out '24 Hours for Darfur' (link below), which is inviting citizens like you to create 1 minute videos on cell phones and webcams, etc, to forward to politicians and screen in New York on September 16.

Dont you think it has something to do with media coverage. Its really not that people 'dont care', it has more to do with conditioning. Which is not necessary a negative thing. For example in South Africa for years we have had help from just about every international org. Over the past 3yrs these organisations are pulling out and focusing their attention elsewhere. The ramifications of this is that South Africa is being forced to become self sufficient and also resourcefull. So maybe its time for Tibet to stand up and change some of its ancient ways of doing things and look outside of itself and see what it can learn from the rest of the world! As for Dafur. Its the first time in history that the world steps in to help Dafur . . . im so grateful for international intervention there!

Why? There's enough people in dire need right in our own country.Not from poor choices or dependency on ANY substance either.

I haven't heard of a private one, but you could try researching UNICEF (United Nations Emergency Children's Fund) and see what they are doing.
