How Can I Not ?
About
'How Can I Not?' was inspired by many of Earth's unsettling tragedies. These include the situations in Northern Uganda, Sierra Leone, Darfur, and the sex slave trade in the world and the United States of America. In response to people inquiring, "Why would you want to help?", or "how could you help?" the question I ask is "How can I not help?" It seems a natural response to seeing these injustices occurring would stir up a desire to help.
This space is designed to provide reliable information based upon facts about the issues listed above. From this we hope you will ACT. Whether through writing to our government, collecting/donating money, to even going to areas of hurt and physically providing relief. The worst thing someone can do with knowledge is to not do anything at all.
Here you can add your input, feelings, experiences, and even shed light on other areas of injustice occurring in the world today.
Lastly, this site is not intended to be political. It was not designed out of bitterness or wanting to point blame, but it was created out of compassion and on a foundation of love.
