1	LandAid LandAid Ltd is a charitable organization, founded by determined volunteers, comprising Australian businesses, agencies, artists and committed individuals with a collective goal of aiding and supporting immediate and ensuing needs of hardship communities and regions. Our goal is to re-enable communities to ‘fish for themselves’ – not merely provide ‘fish for the day’.
2	Black Dog Ride Black Dog Ride began as one mans' personal quest to complete a solo motorbike trip around Australia to raise community awareness of depression. In Australia, each year around 1,000,000 adults and 100,000 young people live with depression. The inaugural Black Dog Ride is over but Steve's mission has just begun. CHECK IT OUT!

In essence, we are here to help in any way we can. Whether it be a piece of equipment, a music therapy room for a hospital, or a much needed air fare for a child who needs to get treatment."

4	Stop Child Executions Child executions violate international law "[No] capital punishment... shall be imposed for offences committed by persons below eighteen years of age" (Article 37(a) of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) According to the United Nations, a child is a person under the age of 18. Despite the fact that the government of Iran has signed International Covenants that forbid them to execute anyone who has allegedly committed an offence before the age of 18, they continue to do so. Amnesty International has documented 26 executions of child offenders in Iran since 2005. In many cases, these minors have been imprisoned until the age of 18 and then executed. Currently, there are at least 134 minors on death row in Iran. Stop Child Executions Campaign is created to raise awareness about this issue, and more importantly to put an end to one of the most heinous manifestations of the death penalty -- its use against children. Sign the petition to Stop Child Executions.
