A wonderful charity - here is a snippet

DC SCORES bridges the academic and athletic development of youth by providing them with creative writing and soccer activities each day after-school and for five weeks during the summer. Beginning with only five schools in 1994, DC SCORES has quickly expanded to 23 participating elementary and middle schools within the District. Operating in Wards 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8, DC SCORES has worked with more than 4000 8-14 year olds and over 300 coaches and writing instructors in the D. C. Public Schools.

Good Works Take: Nothing But Nets

A terrificly important campaign:

Nothing But Nets is powered by your passion; it works because you do! Create a community for your church, school, team, or family and friends. Together, you can spread the word, raise funds, and share your stories.

With the money you raise, the UN Foundation and its partners work with the Measles Initiative – one of the most successful vaccination efforts ever undertaken – to purchase bed nets and distribute them in countries and communities in greatest need.

Using its proven distribution system – which in just five years has vaccinated nearly a quarter billion children – the Measles Initiative will distribute bed nets along with measles vaccinations and other medicines to at-risk countries. It’s an effective and cost-efficient way to get the nets to the people who need them.
