UNICEF Tap Project: Easy Way to Make a Difference

UNICEF has created a mobile web app that you can use to help give clean water to kids around the world. You can go to the website and stop using your cell phone. For every ten minutes you go without your phone, a sponsor will donate enough to provide clean water for a child for a day. You can even make your own monetary donations for as little as $5, which can provide clean drinking water for a child for 200 days. Be sure to check out this amazing video above and help those in need by putting down your cell phone.

Man Denied Blood Donation For Seeming To Be Gay

Found On: www.fundraw.com

Yesterday on Yahoo! News' The Lookout, Zachary Roth posted an article about a man that was turned away from donating blood because he seemed to be gay. The man, Aaron Pace, 22, was turned away from Bio-Blood Components, Inc. Although Pace has feminine qualities, he claims he is not gay. He claims to disagree with the fact that homosexuals cannot donate blood.

The denial of homosexuals to donate blood started in 1983 before testing was available to determine if someone's blood was HIV+. Of course nowadays, however, all blood is tested thoroughly before being donated. According to the article, studies show that denying homosexuals from donating blood takes away around 219,000 pints of blood every year. Even still, the Department of Health and Human Services has decided not to change the policy. Be sure to click on the link below to read the rest of Roth's article.
