The reason to be alive...

That reason is to help the others. I just watch Oprah interviewed UNICEF Ambassador, Lucy Liu. She traveled to the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan to visit with survivors from October 8, 2005 earthquake that killed 73,000 and left 3.3 million people in the region homeless. Click here to make an online donation in support UNICEF's relief efforts.

What your money can buy:
  • $12 can provide 20 packets of high energy biscuits, specially developed for malnourished children in emergencies.
  • $21 can buy a first aid kit containing items such as gloves, adhesive, bandages, and gauze.
  • $40 can provide large wool blankets to protect 10 children from the cold winter weather.
  • $239.77 is the cost of an Emergency Health Kit, which contains basic drugs, medical supplies and equipment for a population of 10,000 persons for 3 months.
