This is a worthwhile charity for this Christmas:
So she has returned to Uganda, with Mormon women, and built more homes. When the Ugandan women said they wanted a community center, she knew this had to be the next goal. And the fledgling organization she has created is called THARCE-Gulu (Reese is working on updating this site in the near future). The plans are in the works to buy a piece of land in Gulu, and build a healing center where visiting therapists (therapy through art, storytelling, sports, film making) can come to help the former soldiers, and around which the community can center their activities. Because right now they still meet under that tree.
So in an effort to make this happen, we at fMh will be ramping up a fund-raising drive. THARCE-Gulu needs $30,000 to buy the land for the center, I have no idea what kind of funds the bloggernacle is capable of raising, but we will be doing whatever we can. So far our plans include raffles, auctions, perhaps some friendly competition within the bloggernacle, maybe some fund-raising snackers/dinners.
