Hey good thing hun? Adding some charity stuff on my site! You know, the funny thing is that both Nick and I do something with charity. He stands up for the animal rights (me too, by not eating them!) and especially for the marine life, and I join Amnesty International. On this page will be several links. I have made an "Ocean campaign page with all kinds of stuff and you can find some links about Amnesty International as well. Have fun!

I also join the local Amnesty group in our village. MAYBE I will once make a site (probably just in Dutch but maybe also other languages) for that group as well.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL

I guess everyone knows about Amnesty. It's a world wide organization that stands for the human rights. Almost every month there is kept an action with writing letters to presidents or other people with a lotta influence on their country. It's mostly about prisoners that are not even guilty of anything and they are for example locked away in those prisons in unbearable circumstances. That is a stupid thing to do ofcourse, locking up innocent people! So what we do is try to "write" them back to freedom. Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't. But Amnesty knows many successes in this area. Members of Amnesty are AGAINST death penalty, we think that it's not the good solution, whatever happens. Except writing actions for letting go political prisoners, there are other actions that sometimes have to do with being against death penalty or the (sexual) abuse of (innocent) people. Those sometimes really have done a bad deed, but though deserve better circumstances. If you wanna write for people as well, it can be done in just a few seconds: cuz I will try to put up a new letter every month or two, just for the ones who are interested. All you gotta do is copy the letter (or write it over) and post it. That's all! If you wanna write too I would like to know about it, but it's not that necessary. Thanks in forward!

oWRITE 4 THEM!!!o

This is the letter for march/april, it goes to Nepal, Members of Amnesty International (in some countries it's illegal to be a member of Amnesty) have been arrested just for being members. After a hearing they have dissapeared. Many are worried about their circumstances and are frightened that they are being abused. This can't go on! In this letter, you will ask if the location of these three men can be given to the family and friends, and that these three prisoners should actually be free cuz they are innocent. _____________________________________________________________
