Sweet Dreams from DreamCatchers for Abused Children

About Us

DreamCatchers for Abused Children is certainly one not-for-profit organization that caught my attention, this organization helps child abuse victims past, present and future! They promote education for prevention and eradication of child abuse. They advocate for child rights. Sounds to me like they are just giving so many children and adults who were victims of child abuse in all it's many forms some protection, some peace, and some very SWEET dreams! Great job! Please check their website out and support this great and worthy organization any way you can. I know I will. They are in my heart, and now I wish them "sweet" dreams!

They need us NOW, more than ever!

According to the latest reports coming out of Afghanistan issued by IRIN humanitarian news and analysis, the country needs us now more than ever. This is what the article had to say about the situation in Afghanistan,

AFGHANISTAN: "Situation is critical and demands urgent action" - NGOs
"Approximately every half hour, one Afghan woman dies from pregnancy-related complications and another from tuberculosis," said the memo, adding that backtracking on women's rights must be avoided."

Wow, this is very alarming to say the least. We need to stay on it people! We need to commit to helping these people regain their health, their lives, their country! It is important, it is necessary! Become educated regarding the current issues and problems in this world and think of a way to get involved in helping to change this world for the better!

Be that SOMEONE for someone! Reach Out!

Hey everyone, please ask yourself this question.."How can I make a difference?" It is easy, just reach out to someone in your world who needs a hand, show them you care and be there for them. I cannot imagine where I would be today had that family not intervened on my behalf, stepped in to offer protection, provision, care, love, kindness, friendship, mentoring and shelter, all of my needs were being met by a family that cared enough to do something, instead of close their eyes and tell themselves that it would be better to not get involved. I am so thankful that they did get involved as I know that my life would have been so different had they not shown me how to love, how to care for myself and others and how to take responsibility for my actions and learn to enjoy this life I have been given. So, I challenge you, be that someone for someone....reach out and make a difference any way you can! Make it count!

EU remains leading activist in efforts to achieve universal abolition of death penalty - Zunia.org

EU remains leading activist in efforts to achieve universal abolition of death penalty - Zunia.org

Shared via AddThis


What year is this??? Last time I checked it looked as though we had moved past the "caveman" period and were headed into a future of educated, intelligent human beings capable of understanding that death does not bring restitution. Death does not create life, and it does not solve problems, it's just convenient! I say stop the death penalty as it is truly just an easier option than treating the ills of this society we live in today. Two wrongs do not make a right!

Abuse is ugly, no matter how you try to cover it up!

Oh, it is UGLY, not doubt about it. The issue of abuse, whether it be physical, sexual, verbal, emotional, spiritual is so ugly and the worst part is that it HURTS! It is so extremely ugly in every way. Due to the fact that it is so ugly, no one wants to face it, no one wants to look at it, and no one wants to deal with it, but the sad fact is that everyday people around the world are being abused. Please get involved and support groups that are working to eradicate abuse and who are providing education in abuse prevention. Don't close your eyes and walk away without considering what it would be like to be abused. What would you do? Where would you go? Who would you trust? Who would you tell? Who really cares? I care! Help me by supporting abuse prevention groups around the world! Thanks!

Taliban Executes Afghan women accusing them for prostitution

This video is old, but the truth of the matter is that if the "west" pulls out, the world will see more and more Afghan women murdered in cold blood by their own people! It is atrocious! It is against the law! Wake up world, and step up to the plate and reach out to anyone in need of a hand, in need of help! If you have the means, then by all means do it!!!!! These women cannot wait! The world cannot wait! Thank you!
