Flooding In Pakistan

 As the waters continue to flood much of Pakistan, many organizations are working diligently to assist victims in the effected areas. We at The Acacia Tree would like to help those hit by this tragedy through assisting those on the ground in Pakistan and the organizations they represent. Several of these organizations are part of our Twitter family. We will be keeping you updated as to their progress and ways you can help.

MercyCorps (@MercyCorps). "Mercy Corps exists to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression by helping people build secure, productive and just communities."

Oxfam International (@Oxfam) "Oxfam is an international confederation of 14 organizations working together in 99 countries and with partners and allies around the world to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice."

Caritas Australia (@CaritasAust) "Caritas Australia helps people help themselves — regardless of race, religion or political beliefs...helping oppressed people to rediscover their dignity by taking greater control over their lives and overcoming poverty."

Out of Africa: The Elephant Corridor

The Elephant Corridor is a solution to the growing displacement of highly concentrated elephant populations. Civilzation and political turmoil have forced the herds to shift away from their normal migration routes and free ranging. This new "peace park" would create one of the world's largest wildlife parks and restore much of the land they have lost.

“I know of no political movement, no philosophy, no ideology, which does not agree with the peace parks concept as we see it going into fruition today. It is a concept that can be embraced by all. In a world beset by conflicts and division, peace is one of the cornerstones of the future. Peace parks are a building block in this process, not only in our region, but potentially in the entire world.” —Dr. N. Mandela
