One big thing you can do is planting trees. We did a tree-planting ceremony when I was in high school. We first had a fundraiser (basically a bake sale – nothing big) and with the few hundred dollars we raised, we bought a whole bunch of tree saplings.

Then, one day after school, we planted all the saplings around the school grounds. We then had our teacher sponsor (all clubs at high schools need teacher sponsors – so go around to your teachers to ask if they’ll sponsor you) and the principal and a counsellor there and had the principal cut a ribbon.

We also invited the school paper. They took lots of photos of us planting as well us with the principal cutting the ribbon. They interviewed us and had a big article on the front page of the school paper. That sort of thing is great for raising awareness of the issue.

After that article, lots of other students wanted to join our group and it grew from there.

Good luck!

The multi agency people can act as a link. So if you are single parent who takes your child to the doctor with bruise marks the doctor might "report" you to social services for possible abuse. They then tell the police and Psychologist (who make discrete note about you) but also the district nurse (to call in and check the kid) and possibly a nutritionist if the kid is undernourished. The kids school is also informed for trunacy checks, sign of abuse etc.

So instead of organisations only doing their specific jobs they try and cover any possible problems – but also to help people who need a bit of a hand but are not abusing their kids for example.

"…a far cry from the highly negative coverage of President Bush’s successful troop surge in Iraq two years ago. "

LOL. They constantly parroted "the surge is working" talking points. They were right, the surge worked perfectly, we are still in Iraq to spite the fact that most Iraqis want us to leave. This is exactly what the defense industry wanted to accomplish.
