Youth Publication Needs Correspondents Outside North America

Hi!
If you visit these boards often, you might have already read a bit about my project. It is called Five Minutes to Midnight, and it is an online youth publication that deals with human rights and international issues. It is completely free, has around 260 subscribers, is officially supported by the United Nations Association in Canada - Toronto Region Branch, and we're working with War Child and other organizations as well. The publication comes out once a month and features articles by people 25 years of age and younger. You can find us at www.fiveminutestomidnight.org or our TIG project page: http://projects.takingitglobal.org/fmm
We are growing fast, but we need help!
We are currently headquartered in Toronto, Canada. Promotion around here is fairly easy, and we've gotten pretty much around North America - a school in the US wants us to visit them, for example, and other groups in North America are working to promote us to their members, too.
Unfortunately, we do not have anyone outside of North America officially working with us, and we want to be GLOBAL! We are looking for people to help us out. If you live anywhere outside of Toronto, and would like to help us out, please reply or e-mail me at gryc@rogers.com!
Here is a basic outline of the work:
WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE:
- Some knowledge of local human rights organizations and events
- An e-mail account that you check regularly, as we will probably communicate through e-mail
- The motivation to visit at least one event per month
WHAT WE WILL GIVE YOU:
- A staff profile on our Staff page
- All the promotional material you need (you just have to print it, but it will designed to be effective on regular paper printed in black & white ink, and there won't be a lot of printing)
- Anything you need (just tell me and I'll try my best)
If you only want to do the above for one event, that is fine, too! All those interested should e-mail me at gryc@rogers.com or reply here.
Thanks,
Wojciech Gryc

Hi!
Thank you for your response! I am very glad you have interested people. 
What I mean by that is that if there are human rights events or presentations in your local community, to possibly go there and promote Five Minutes to Midnight. This isn't necessary, but it would be nice.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to e-mail me at gryc@rogers.com Also, you might be interested in another project I'm working on and need volunteers for, located at http://www.takingitglobal.org/discuss/showthread.html?s=&threadid=5256
Thanks,
Wojciech Gryc

I liked it , but cause I have limmited access to the net I couldn't afford afford to have a thorough look at it , lets hope I do it soon.
Maybe I could be of some help here around in Afghanistan , I would confirm once I schedule all that I am doing I have had terrible with everything being so unorganized and too much to do with me for the past 3 months.
