ALRIGHT GANG!
I had a meeting today with the rest of the organizing crew for the fundraiser I'm doing for child soldiers. Officially, the event is called... "I GOT SOUL BUT I'M NOT A SOLDIER". Amazing, right? Okay, here's the part where I need help.
Does anyone know of any organizations based out of Vancouver or the surrounding areas that deals with or works with child soldiers, children living in war torn conflict zones, children in general.... I'm looking for any sort of community group that works with issues surrounding war OR children. Example! A friend of mine gave me a contact for a group that works with Mobilization Against War and Occupation.
Anyone else? Suggestions?
A few seconds searching on
A few seconds searching on the 'net found this:
The Coalition to Stop the Use of Child Soldiers is not responsible for the content of external websites. Links are for informational purposes only. A link does not imply an endorsement of the linked site or its contents.

It includes many links to websites about the issue in Canada.
The closest possible related group in Vancouver could be:

You will probably find more groups listed in the Red Book Online
