Thoughtful Thursday- The Harry Potter Alliance

I had no idea that the HP Alliance existed until they were recommended to us a couple months back from one of our followers, hkurtzw. They have done some wonderful things. Here's a little bit about them-

"Just as Dumbledore’s Army wakes the world up to Voldemort’s return, works for equal rights of house elves and werewolves, and empowers its members, we:"

* Work with partner in NGO's in alerting the world to dangers in global warming, poverty, and genocide.

* Work with their partners for equal rights regardless of race, gender and sexuality.

* Encourage their members to hone the magic of their creativity in endeavoring to make the world a better place. (all quoted from their site)

Here's just a few things they've already done:

* Raised funds to protect thousands in Darfur and Burma

* Donated over 14,000 books across the world, including 4,000 to a youth village in Rwanda

* Gathered over three quarters of the 10,000 signatures that the UK based Aegis Trust sent to the UN Security Council concerning Darfur.

* They've prepared tens of thousands of student leaders to face the global challenges of ending genocide, equal rights, environmental protection, media reform, fair trade and more.
