Video: Burma, it can't wait

The devastation from a recent cyclone in Burma has been on the news for almost 2 months, but regrettably the devastation continues every day. Burma is currently ruled by a brutal military dictator who, among other committed atrocities, has recruited upwards of 70,000 children (starting from age 11) into the army for war against neighboring minorities, villages and even citizens. Currently the rightful leader of Burma, Aung San Suu Kyi, is on house arrest, illegally, according to UN interanational law.

At the website, Burma: It Can't Wait (burmaitcantwait.org), celebrity shorts with Will Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Tila Tequila, and 10's of others, call attention to the various complexities of the situation, but bring to the attention  the realistic change of hope for Burma- by helping add your voice to the cause.

Video: Donation Dashboard 1.0

Developed at UC Berkeley, Donation Dashboard 1.0 creates an opportunity for generous people to donate to charities with causes that are in-line with their own interest, some well known, and others not.

When visiting the site, you are given the option to choose how interested and non-interested you are to a charity and their cause. From that, the system creates a list of charities in response to those interest. It creates an opportunity to donate intelligently and carefully, rather than simply responding to direct mail and solicitation.
