How to Help the Children of Aleppo
Alistair Reign News

Many are aware of the horrible atrocities going on in Aleppo on a daily basis. Most of us have seen the harrowing tales of adults and children alike being rescued from the remnants of a building that was diminished to rubble. Currently, evacuations have been halted, and the men, woman, and children left are trapped with little to no sustenance. Countless children have been made orphans and many will know a new life without their parents, siblings, or (in many cases) hope. I am well aware that finances are short this time of year, but please consider donating to causes that will help these children that have been through much more hardship than we could ever fathom.


The White Helmets

The White Helmets are Syrian civilian men and women from all walks of life that search for survivors among the wreckage of buildings even as bombs continue to fall. To date, they have saved over 73,000 lives. Along with searching for survivors among the wreckage, White Helmets are involved in other public service including reconnecting electrical cables, providing safety information to children and securing buildings.

Save The Children

Many of the children trapped in Aleppo are in need of medical care or attention. Could you imagine having an injured child and no means to help them? Save the Children helps deliver medical supplies as well as medical staff to help Syrian children. They also deliver food, water, and other necessities. Child protection and education programs are also being prepared in response to this travesty.

Hand in Hand for Syria

Hand in Hand for Syria deploys teams on the ground in Syria to deliver aid to the people under severe threat and who are trying to continue to survive in horrid conditions. They help those affected find a way to remain in Syria versus fleeing the country. Hand-in-hand provides food, water, sanitation products, and emergency medical care to those who are most in need.

The Syrian Orphans Organization

The Syrian Orphan Organization works around the clock providing orphans, women, and children with basic necessities vital to survival such as food, clean water, shelter, and medical attention. Through their orphan sponsorship program, they have support close to 2,000 orphans. However, through our various other initiatives such as their Zakat, Ramadan, Food Basket, and Winter Aid programs, they have reached several thousand more orphans and their families. A contribution of $2 a day for 12 months can lift an orphan's ENTIRE family out of poverty.

These are just a few examples of the many organizations working night and day to provide for and protect the children of Syria and their families. Long after the dust settles in Aleppo and the turmoil ceases, the destruction will remain. The children of Aleppo will need continued long-term support.

beer on the beach

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

Bruce Springsteen's Top 7 Lyrics

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
