On December 3, the HP Alliance is reopening its efforts for STANDFast, an activity in which participants give up a luxury item (like a Starbucks latte or a CD) and donate the money they save to help protect the Lily Potters of Darfur and the PotterWatch of Burma. About $10 can protect a whole family in Burma and a woman in Darfur. Last year, Harry Potter fans raised over $8,000 for Civilian Protection in Darfur.
If you want to become more involved, send an email to standfast@thehpalliance.org, or visit the HP Alliance's forum to get in on the discussion.
Again, you can take part
at this page. Thank you all in advance! The Harry Potter community frequently shows the world that its made up of caring and thoughtful individuals and we can't wait to do it again.
I think the Harry Potter Alliance is one of the most brilliant & positive off-shoots of the whole HP fandom. They truly apply the message of the books to real life & make a difference, just like Harry. I wholeheartedly support their efforts & encourage my fellow HP fans to do the same! Thanks Leaky for sharing this!
I think the HPA is a great idea and I will be dontating ASAP…
I also think its a lousy idea that the HP quiz on this page is a force to get into some kind of ‘offer’ where you have to give out personal information to get your results. ><
I’ll be proud to once again donate to this worthy cause. Go Harry Potter Alliance!
