AFGHANISTAN IN ABYSS

 
Scene of Afghanistan
The carnage in Afghanistan must stop. American soldiers are accused of storming through a hospital, breaking down doors and tying up staff and visitors. The story of Afghanistan is heart wrenching and we must do our part - call on President Obama and ask him to rethink Afghanistan.

SEASON FOR HUMANITY


Hands holding earth
Each year one Sunday in the month of Ramadan is designated  as humanitarian day an annual event organized by the ILM Foundation of Los Angeles. Muslims and people of many faiths gather to serve humanity on Skid Row. Watch the faith in action and join hands in serving the thousands of indigent and needy. Join hands and serve humanity.
  
Ramadan in Gaza is different than it is in Los Angeles. KinderUSA cares for Gazans who continue to live under seige. Please consider sharing your joys of Ramadan with people of Gaza.

SETTLEMENTS REPORT
 
Settlement in West Bank, PalestinePeace Now released its semi annual report on the Israeli illegal settlements on stolen Palestinian land. Educate yourself from "how to ask for freezing of settlements" and then check your representative's score card before calling them to withdraw United States' unconditional financial support to Israel. Read the US State Department's exchange with a reporter about settlements and call on President Obama to stop financial and military aid until Israel stops illegal settlements and occupation of Palestine. Settlements is an impediment to peace.
