Trading iPods for AK-47s
February 15
I don’t often read the IDS, Indiana University’s daily student newspaper. But I walked by the newsstand today and saw a headline on the front page that read, you guessed it, “Trading iPods for AK-47s.”
[ Read the full article here ]
It’s about a student and alumni group called “Fearless Charities” that works in dangerous areas such as Darfur, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Somalia. According to the article, the group set up 16 charities to distribute mosquito nets, thousands of cholera tablets, “as well as a few iPods” in a creative venture to trade music for guns.
They’ve got big dreams and some really great plans.
Really, really cool, guys. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments Scott. I appreciate your thoughts, and your subscription. I am subscribed to yours as well, and I look forward to our discussions.
I would love the mp3 for that particular Bell sermon. Drop a link on to my blog? That would be great. I need to get into the habit of listening to his sermons each week.
Did I mention we need to collaborate on a project sometime? Yeah, we need to colloborate on a project sometime. Hell, coffee would suffice.
Later man.
