Save Our Schools is an ongoing philanthropic initiative operated and managed by a local civic organization and a collaboration of community stakeholders for the purpose of providing emergency funds and resources to schools.

The fiscal challenge facing our nation is having a significant impact on North Carolina Schools. The impact we are experiencing in the marketplace has trickled down to a reduction in public services.

In the end, we are hurting our children. While there are parents, individuals, and organizations who are working hard to support our schools, it is clear that there is a need for more.

Recently, an alliance of community leaders and socially responsible companies committed to launch a unified effort to “Save our Schools”. This effort will utilize entrepreneurial creativity and proven strategies

Yet much of the funds pledged to post-quake relief for has not been received for redevelopment and very little has been done to rebuild.

Why has the US sponsored coup de tats against Haiti's democratically elected President Jean Bertrand Aristide? The world has turned its focus away and promises to the Haitians are unfulfilled.

Explore these issues with us as we learn how the island nation struggles to rebuild. From the health care crises (like cholera and malaria), to the need
