Call to Action
University of South Carolina never stops. For this week’s meeting, the ONE chapter of USC wrote letters and made phone calls to Congressmen James Clyburn and Joe Wilson, urging them to oppose cuts in the 2011 Budget that would effect the funding of HIV/AIDS, hunger, and preventable diseases programs.
Later this week, we plan to hand-deliver these letters to the Congressmen’s offices to...

If you asked the typical American to give you an estimate of what percentage of our GDP goes to foreign aid assistance, he or she would probably tell you a figure of anywhere from 20-30%. So for every dollar the US makes, we give 20-30 cents of it away. That sounds pretty generous, given that we don’t ask for anything in return (generally speaking).
But wait — before you pat yourself...

Last semester ended on a high note for ONE Campus UTEP. In addition to connecting with and educating our community about who we are and what we strive to do, we screened portions of The Lazarus Effect and sold beautiful BeadforLife jewelry. Thanks to the generosity of our guests, we raised over $300 for the jewelry makers while discussing the very real possibility of living in a world where no...

ONE's OSU Chapter was busy this week!
This week the ONE Campaign at The Ohio State University was busy recruiting new members, advocating to our senators, and planning for the upcoming challenges. On Tuesday, we called Senators Brown and Portman to ask them to support ONE’s No Child Born with HIV by 2015 campaign. On Thursday we had our weekly meeting. And all week we invited our friends, family, and classmates to join ONE.
ONE LOVE
The USC ONE Chapter celebrates Valentine’s Day by tabling in front of the Russell House Student Union from 11am to 2pm on February 14!
What better way to show love for the world than encouraging the campus to sign a petition to fund vaccines that will stop the two leading killers of children under 5—pneumonia and diarrhea?
Let’s help save 4 million in 5 years! Now that’s love.

(Tax-free?) Malaria Vaccine in the Making
Admit it — it’s Friday, and you have nothing to do until later tonight. Why not get a jump start on Challenge 2 by educating yourself a little about vaccines and the diseases they go against?
According to mental_floss, a malaria vaccine is on its way to becoming a reality (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/archives/81585).
No big deal? Think again.
Take a look at these quick stats...

ONE members Stephanie Parrish and Meredith Horowski spoke at the College Democrats’ executive board meeting last night to discuss the issues of ONE and the group at University of Michigan’s Ann Arbor group on campus. They gave an overview of ONE and talked about specific legislation such as the Water for the World Act and the Global Food Security Act to demonstrate how nonpartisan...
