Due to recent earthquake disaster in China, i am inspired to help my fellow countrymen. I want to start a charity fund/donation fundraising drive to get money to donate to the Red Cross. Is this worth doing?? and how do i do this?? plz give me instructions so i can talk with my teachers, and so on. this is for a good cause and i hope you can help me. I am a freshmen in high school. thanks
