Do Something For Others: Volunteer this MLK Day!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: 'What are you doing for others?'"
Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King Holiday to serve their neighbors and communities.
Martin Luther King Jr. Day projects will be organized in more than 75 cities by 42 HOPE worldwide chapters, Martin Luther King Jr. Day subgrantees and our national partner the American Red Cross. There are fire prevention projects in 67 cities and HOPE worldwide and American Red Cross volunteers are expected to reach more than 230,000 homes. There are opportunities for all ages beginning Saturday, January 7 until Monday, January 16. In the words of Dr. King, “Everyone can be great because everyone can serve.”

World AIDS Day 2011
Many people around the world lack the legal documentation most of us take for granted - from an identity document, to a passport, to even a birth certificate.
For those who live hand to mouth, merely getting to the relevant government department to apply for these items can be a challenge. Not having this documentation can often limit their changes of obtaining work or social grants to which they may be entitled. It's a vicious cycle.
Accountant Needed for HOPE
