Be open-minded. Be open hearted. Because you never know what someone has been through. – Jason

Through the sales of t-shirts, donations, and partnerships, this organization provides care packages to the homeless in exchange for an opportunity to share their stories online.

Make Treks is a group of young people committed to doing the right thing. No one involved with Make Treks is paid for their work. Make a donation, buy a t-shirt, watch a digital portrait: here.

UNHATE

Sunday, November 20th, 2011

Hatred is never appeased by hatred in this world. By non-hatred alone is hatred appeased. - Sutta Pitaka

United Colors of Benetton recently launched the Unhate campaign and foundation to oppose and undermine hate culture. The Unhate Foundation will engage in the development of campaigns aimed at exorcising the “fear of the other”. UNHATE is also a film, by French director Laurent Chanez that explores the precarious balance and complex interweaving between the drive to hate and the reasons to love.

See more of their campaign at the foundations website.

Your Man Reminder

Wednesday, October 26th, 2011

Breast cancer awareness month is coming to and end, but the need for regular breast exams isn’t going anywhere! Women looking for a friendly self-check reminder need look no further. There’s an app for that. Really.

“Your Man Reminder” is a cheeky app that uses male models to remind women to give their breasts a little TLC (touch, look, and check).

The beauty in this app and campaign is not the eye candy, but that it lasts beyond the month of October, and it encourages women to take care of themselves. The iPhone app is available  here, and an android app is to be released.

Rethink Breast Cancer is a Canadian organization and the great minds behind “Your Man Reminder”. They will also be bringing us Breast Fest, a film festival highlighting the spectrum of issues surrounding breast cancer. Breast Fest takes place November 18th – 20th at the ROM.
