Instead of ignoring my birthday like I usually want to… I “donated” it to Amnesty International via Facebook. I’m usually too nervous about fund raising but I figured my birthday would be a good excuse to hopefully get at least a few people to donate. Amnesty International is my favorite non-profit organization because I have a soft spot in my heart for the human race. Their objective is to protect human rights and take a stance against injustice by informing the public about violations against the dignity that all who are a part of humanity deserve.
Human Rights Day (12/10/09) falls the week of my birthday, so I pledged to write 10 letters on that week for the following cause:
If you’d like to give me a birthday gift then you can go here to donate. I only asked for $10 donations because that’s pretty much the cheapest birthday gift you can give someone but it means a whole lot more when you give it to a deserving charity like Amnesty.
