Overtime many organizations have developed to help prevent and stop the use of Child Soldiers. These organizations are spread about all over the world. They have put together petitions and fund raisers to help sponsor the cause for a solution. Together many people have been working to make government officials aware of the details into what is happening over seas. There are several different actions you can actually take to help.
1) Red Hand Day, On February 12, every year thousands of people join together to paint there hands red. Every person has the right to sign their name and send the paper to U.N. Representatives in New York. The goal of Red Hand Day is to raise awareness by sending one million hand prints, hopefully making a large impact.
2) Online Petition, This link allows you to email Hillary Clinton. It is prewritten and allows you to make you message clear and concise. http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy/index.aspx?c

3) Everyclick Search Engine, Instead of using your normal search engine you can use Everyclick as a search engine. After saying what charity you are supporting (child soldiers) can can use this search engine at not cost to you. Each time the search engine is used the organization that volunteered to sponsor the charity donates money. The link is, http://www.everyclick.com/using-everyclick/index
4) UNICEF E- Newsletter, After providing your name and basic info you can sign up for an E news letter sent out my UNICEF. The letter will provide the latest headlines on Child Soldiers , exclusive content not found on the web and hing you can do to help. The link is, http://www.unicef.org/e-newsletter/index.php
5) Email President Barack Obama, You can email Government officials with a prewritten email. Signing this petition will most likely convince the government to support the actions being taken for Child Soldiers. Hopefully this will make an impact on our government.
