I surf the internet using Goodsearch. It's powered by Yahoo! and every time you use the search engine they donate one cent to the charity of your choosing. It doesn't sound like a lot of money but since you're searching anyway it can really add up. They give kudos to a different spokesman/organization every day and I usually ignore it but today my curiosity was piqued. The feature was WITNESS. This is a program partnered by Reebok and Peter Gabriel (the musician) whereby they aim to place cameras in the hands of citizens throughout the world and encourage them to record any human rights injustices they witness. Such an act probably makes people feel empowered and emboldens their spirit, giving voice and recognition to their plight. If careless, however, it could mean a death sentence for the cameraman under some regimes. This strikes me as an important instrument in potentially heading off say, genocide (an extreme example) or other atrocities. There are truly good people out there making good of bad circumstances.
