I've been thinking. We have a lot of talented people in our college--singers, actors, actresses, photographers, and so on--and yet, save for the occasional representation or such, not much is done.
So, how about a charity event? Maybe some of the people I know can put in a word with their club presidents, set things in motions. Or just tell me who to go talk to, because I can also do that.
This is going to sound all...justice league and whatnot, but it's true. I wanted, and still want, to be a medic so I can help people; but I'm not a medic yet, and people still need help. I'm sure you all read the news, or watch TV or even got word of it on the Internet. It's impossible not to, unless you live under a rock.
I'm not pushing this on anyone, but I think it would be a nice thing to do. No, a humane thing to do, maybe. If the yakuza helped earthquake victims in 1995, why can't a bunch of college students put together a show and donate all the ticket money to one of the charities helping out Haiti victims? Not that I'm comparing us with the yakuza, but you should get where I'm going with this...
I have a couple of ideas, like selling baked goods, and so on; maybe even a tea shop somewhere. Ideas, plenty. But volunteers...
That's where I'll let the rest talk.
