If you’ve been reading my blog for sometime you know that I’m a huge supporter of non-profit organizations who help people in need around the world. I received a message through email from Bloggers Unite about an online awareness campaign for refugees.
On November 10, 2008 bloggers from all over the world are uniting to raise awareness on behalf of more than 40 million refugees. To ask the world to face the atrocities so many human beings must endure and to join together to help bring forward awareness and action for these problems.
Bloggers Unite along with Refugees United are asking bloggers to participate by blogging about the campaign or placing a campaign badge on your blog to help spread the word. The core cause of Bloggers Unite and Refugees United is sharing of information which leads to empowerment. Your actions matter, and your words can help change lives! Here’s more information about Refugees United which was taken directly from the Bloggers Unite website:
About Refugees United
Refugees United is a non-profit organization that helps refugees relocate family and friends through the use of the internet.

- All refugees are welcome, regardless of conflict, place or time.
- Refugees United is an independent, non-political, non-religious NGO.
- No third party is involved. No official papers need to be filled in.
- The service is free of charge, easy and safe.
