What are some examples health issues or problems in your community? Do you have any ideas for projects you (yourself) can do to address these issues?

There are a lot of malnourished and undernourished people and it will likely continue to get worse as we are in a recession. If you choose to help out a local food bank, you could help a lot of people while getting your community involved and reminding people that there is always someone who is worse off out there. I would do a food drive since its easy and the benefits are immediate.

well my community has a massive problem with hereon use and all the associated issues, lucky aids doesnt seem to be too high in the area so there arent a huge number of cases but herps and other blood transferred disease are a real issue.
teenage pregnancy is another big issue, I live in england tho
