Save the Children celebrates the role of sponsorship in improving the lives of children. More than 60 years of experience working hand-in-hand with families and communities at home and abroad has taught us that poverty need not be a life sentence. Operating with the efficiency of a successful business, we remain faithfully committed to directing the lion's share of our resources to serving children and families in need. We work in 18 states across the United States and in 46 developing nations around the world. www.savethechildren.org

No Name Calling Week During March 1 – 5, 2004, schools serving grades five through eight across the nation will be asked to take part in a week of education activities aimed at stopping name-calling and verbal bullying of all kinds. This weeklong event seeks to focus national attention on the problem of name-calling in schools and to provide students and educators with the tools and inspiration to launch an on-going dialogue about ways to eliminate name-calling in their communities. A resource guide with lesson plans, a video for classroom use and other promotional materials are available for educators to assist in facilitating the week’s activities. For more information on this weeklong event, visit www.NoNameCallingWeek.org

Dads and Daughters. DADs provides tools to strengthen our relationships with our daughters and transform the pervasive messages that value our daughters more for how they look than who they are. They are a national, nonprofit membership organization of fathers with daughters. www.dadsanddaughters.org or info@dadsanddaughters.org

Creativity Explored member artists come from diverse backgrounds and bring with them a wide variety and range of experience, ability, and sensibilities. Some of our artists just turned 20 years old, and some of our artists are in their eighties. Some have lived a life of previous isolation or institutionalization, while some have lived their entire lives with their families in a supportive and accepting environment. Many of our member artists speak different languages, or do not speak, and are unable to communicate with each other using spoken language. At Creativity Explored, visual art is language everyone can use to share culture, to share experience, and to share feelings.

Condomania: America's first condom store, was established June 1991, in New York City. Condomania OnLine assists customers of every age, sex, culture and sexual orientation in the purchase of condoms and safer-sex products. At Condomania, we believe that the best way for the public to make educated choices about safer-sex products is through access to accurate, non-judgmental information. Condomania's vision is crucial to the prevention of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV. Happy VD Day! www.condomania.com

Children's Rights Council's Website works to strengthen families through education and advocacy. We favor family formation and family preservation, but if families break up, or are never formed, we work to assure a child the frequent and continuing contact with two parents and extended family the child would normally have during marriage. Our motto is "The Best Parent is Both Parents". Our site contains names of parenting support groups, resources on single parents, marriage, custody, access/visitation/parenting time, parenting education, prevention of abuse and neglect of your child, job sources, and parentage establishment. Formed in 1985 by concerned parents who have more than 40 years collective experience in custody and reform and early childhood education, CRC has chapters in 32 states and is affiliated with CRC: Mothers Without Custody (MW/OC) and the Stepfamily Association of America (SAA). info4parents.com

With Kids-In-Mind, the movie reviews are objective, non-critical assessments of the potentially objectionable material contained in movies and are primarily addressed to parents. They don't tell parents whether a movie is good or bad, they don't tell them whether it has any social or political significance -- they don't even bother with whether it has artistic merit. They simply list material that parents may not want their kids to watch or hear. Then parents can decide whether a movie is OK for their own kids, according to their own criteria. The writing style is straightforward and quite neutral, and they take great pains to describe a film's content without actually revealing any plot elements. This is not religiously-based movie reviews. www.kids-in-mind.com or Letters@kids-in-mind.com MORE

Adults and Children Together--Against Violence is a violence-prevention campaign composed of a national multimedia campaign and community-based training programs. The campaign focuses on adults who raise, care for, and teach children ages 0 to 8 years. It is designed to prevent violence by providing young children with positive role models and environments that teach nonviolent problem solving.

ACT Against Violence Project Rationale: Violent behavior is largely learned--often early in life; Violence prevention can be learned--starting early in life; Adults shape the learning environment for young children; Adults can learn how to model and teach young children constructive ways to cope with anger, frustration, and conflict. www.actagainstviolence.org

The Society for Human Sexuality is a social and educational organization whose purpose is to promote understanding and appreciation for the many forms of adult intimate relationships and consensual sexual expression. Participation is open to anyone over the age of 18, regardless of gender or sexual orientation. This web site is devoted solely to sexuality education and information, and is completely free. It meets its operating expenses through five carefully-chosen associate's programs. http://sexuality.org

platonicparenting.com came about from the belief that sexual compatibility united and strengthened the family unit. However, sexual incompatibility was likely to divide families and create potential for children to experience insecurity and instability. By removing the biggest single factor causing parental conflict family break down and child insecurity could be drastically reduced. Our mission, therefore, is to introduce like minded men and women searching for a suitable parenting partner without the sexual commitment. So, platonicparenting.com was established in 1994 as the worlds first and only self help platonic parenting partner information service. The service continues today to run as a self help group, and remains the worlds only dedicated information resource and point of contact for those seeking a compatible platonic parenting partner.
