Cry Me A River


You have so many good intentions. Call mom more often. Help old ladies across the street. Stop charging new shoes to your maxed out card.

Some things are easier than others. With CRY (Child Rights and You) you can put all of those intentions to good use.

CRY is a human rights organization that works by acting as a link between grassroots organizations with little resources and the people who do. CRY does all the dirty work seeking out grants which it then distributes to organizations that help build schools, create social change, end the caste system, and provide health care to the underprivileged.

CRY has chapters across the country where you can volunteer, work, and of course donate. For all of you in Boston tonight, you can check out CRY's fundraiser with Generation Desi at Nick's Comedy Shop featuring the likes of comics, Masala Mami and Desi Bad Boy.

Giving never felt so good.
