Drugs and Gangs seem to be words that go together. The way to decrease both is probably by education. Certainly being a gang member gets to be a drag once you get older and want to settle down, even if that thought didn't even enter your head when you were younger. Gang lifestyles decrease the sensitivity to reality, making the moral standards lower to a point that is generally unacceptable to society in general. For instance, would you like to buy a car from a guy who has a gang name tattooed across his face? Probably not.
There is a growing movement to reverse these trends. For sure, it is becoming less cool to be a gang member. Carangel is an organization that accept donations including cars in order to fight the gang concept by means of education.
Now there is an associated website, boatangel.org . The concept here is that you can now
Donate Boats in order to assist the charity, and get a tax refund for doing it. Although
Boat Donations may seem a bit more difficult to arrange than car donations the process is actually easy, even if you have no trailer for the boat. This is great way to solve a problem for yourself, as many boats once neglected become an expensive proposition for the owner, as well as a space consuming liability, so, if you want to become a "
Donate my Boat to Charity" person, and maybe get some tax advantages, check this idea out.
