Children in Poverty

Posted on 26. Nov, 2009 in Featured, Misc

There are so many unprivileged children in the world… These children have to grow up in terrible conditions. They suffer from violence, diseases and poverty. They have to fight for their lives. If you can help these children anyhow - do it.

I’m so ashamed to see that so few people care about such things. It seems that the entire world is willing to turn a blind eye when it is not their problem. What is worse, is that for those who ARE willing to do something to contribute, do not really know HOW to do it EFFECTIVELY.

Part of the problem is a lack of public awareness as to how to help, and part of the problem are the dishonest people/organizations who try to take advantage of philanthropists, which, in turn, makes any normal person weary of opening their pocketbook.

I’m glad to see you care.
