We, the students of James Lick High School's World History AP and English 2 Honors courses are working together to spread awareness of and raise funds for the girls and women of a minority group in Iraq known as the Yazidis who have been sexually victimized by the terrorist group ISIS.

We will be partnering with the USA-based charity Yazda. Your valuable help will aid us in funding Yazda's courageous effort to provide life-saving assistance in the form of immediate medical care and long-term rehabilitation for the traumatized victims.  

Contributions through this site will be collected until the end of May 2016.  Any amount of money on your part will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for your support in making this world a better place.
