Our Mission
The Geology 207: Natural Disasters Honors section at Illinois State University is raising awareness and support for the devastating tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri this last Spring, May 22, 2011.
This semester we have been learning about different natural disasters, researching locations that were hit by these terrible tragedies, and finding the best charity that would benefit those locations. After much contemplation and discussion we decided on Joplin, Missouri and Habitat for Humanity.
We then needed to decide how we were going to raise awareness and funds for this community. Through an extensive project we have launched this website, a Facebook page, and twitter account to get the word out as well as researching the GoodSearch fundraiser.
Our class is excited and proud to share with you all of our information and have you join in our support of Joplin, Missouri through the GoodSearch site. We hope to raise enough funds to build many more houses for the Joplin tornado victims, but we cannot do that without your support. Read through our documents on the different pages of our website and follow the instructions below for an easy way to give back to Joplin. Thank you!

GoodSearch Fundraiser
GoodSearch is a search engine like any other, but with a purpose. We discovered an account for Habitat for Humanity in Joplin, Missouri. We chose to support this charity because of the recent tornado disaster that has devastated the area. For every search you make, GoodSearch will donate $0.01 straight to Joplin, Missouri. With this money, Habitat can help to rebuild Joplin, MO. Additionally, when you shop on various websites, such as Amazon, iTunes, Expedia, the GoodShop section of the website donates a portion of your total back to Joplin as well! Follow these simple instructions to give back. We hope you can help Joplin with this simple task. Use it as often or as little as you wish, for every penny really does matter. Thank you all for your continuous help and support!
