Natural Disaster Aid - What we do?

Overall, there are a couple consistent things that Natural Disaster Aid does.

1. Newsletter: we have monthly newsletters. I will post all of them shortly. Featured in these newsletters are Recent Disasters [that have occurred in the past month], the Disaster of the Month, and the Conspiracy Column [facts that have been taken for granted are looked at from a different point of view]

2. Info Sessions: We had our first info session in March. I hope to continue that on a monthly basis. Topics from Global Warming to Recycling will be discussed.

3. Speakers: This is something that we have no been able to capitalize on right now. I hope to contact professors and other speakers interested in our environment to discuss and answer questions high school students might have.

4. Big Brothers Big Sister Preparedness Package: This event will be starting shortly. We are in the process of putting the event together. When that event comes by, we will definitely let you know what happens. :)

Climate Day - Wednesday March 24, 2010

On Wednesday, March 24th, 2010 we supported Climate Day at the Katie Wheeler Library.
We wanted to represent all sides of the global warming debate. Therefore, we had a couple of different things going on.

1. A showing of the Inconvenient Truth
2. Articles showing the Anti-Global Warming Point of View**
3. Discussion

** we wanted to show the Great Global Warming Swindle, but we were unable to stream that into the library, so we had to do with just articles.

Despite some of our difficulties, the discussion really pulled through. People were engaging in what was going on in the world. Many people had conflicting view points, but we were able to represent the full spectrum in a sophisticated and dignified way :)

But something that did appall me a little was way people simply accepted Al Gore's message. But that delves a little into my own personal belief, so I will not go there for now.

Overall, the event was a success and there is definitely more to come :)

Our Mission

"Raise money for the unfortunate, and spread awareness for the fortunate.

Be aware, be safe, you never known when mother nature will strike"

Nature offers a mixed blessing to us human beings. On one hand she offers us life and comfort, but on the other hand she can unleash huge disasters that take away those life and comfort and uproot masses. The list of Nature’s disasters are endless: hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, fires, tornadoes, droughts, etc. Most people are largely oblivious to such disasters as they occur only infrequently. Yet when disaster strikes, we have no idea what to do! We remain helpless in face of Natural Disasters. Our club, Natural Disaster Aid, helps spread awareness about Natural Disasters in our midst. We also aim to contribute through donations for specific natural disasters that hits the poor and unfortunate in our world.
