TERRA!

Terra! is a new independent campaigning organization which aims to protect the environment by creating a new kind of environmental campaigning/activism. Terra! is a brand new organization: it was born at the beginning of 2008 with the aim of pursuing international campaigns at local level in an innovative way. Terra! connects locally active individuals and organizations (citizens groups, community based organizations, etc.). As its first campaign activity, Terra! worked together with Friends of the Earth and a network of European NGOs to promote a European law on car efficiency and the regulation of CO2 emissions. Terra! organized a highly successful guerrilla marketing campaign. In one single night 200 historic statues in Rome were provided with gas masks and road signs demanding the reduction of CO2 emissions. The action was soon repeated in Milan, Genoa and Padua. A few months later, another subvertising activity was carried out: road signs in Rome, Milan, Florence and Padua were modified to prohibit access to highly-polluting cars.

Thai Children's Trust

Thai Children's Trust - Protecting, nurturing and educating For many children in Thailand the charitable projects that we help to support represent more than just a safe bed for the night or a single decent meal. Thai Children's Trust offers a home, a family, a place to belong; a means to escape a life lived in fear or hunger. We provide the one thing no child should be denied: A childhood. Helping the vulnerable and those at risk In large parts of Thailand poverty and severe deprivation are rife meaning that life at the bottom of the social ladder can be very hard. For those children who have been left orphaned, abandoned by their parents or who have fled their homes to escape physical or sexual abuse, it is far more brutal. Being at the centre of South East Asia also means that Thailand is often a destination for economic migrants and refugees fleeing conflicts or brutal regimes. All too often children from these groups find themselves living in desperate poverty and in need of help. The projects supported by Thai Children's Trust offer these children safety, encouragement, education and hope. For over 30 years TCT has been constantly working toward making things better - especially for children with disabilities and serious conditions, such as HIV or AIDS. Today we help to sustain a range of projects which not only provide specialist help but actively campaign at a state and national level for greater governmental support. In addition to our work directly with abandoned or orphaned children Thai Children's Trust also helps a number of vulnerable women and mothers - many of whom have arrived in Thailand as unwilling victims of people trafficking and the sex trade. By providing these women with a safe refuge, a chance at education and a sense of empowerment we are enabling them to lift themselves, and their children, out of poverty. Please help us to continue our work improving the lives of children living in poverty, fear and pain.
