Tomorrow I’ll call Redwood Credit Union and find out exactly how to donate to the fund for the two children. We were too busy this Christmas to seek out a good charity to give to. I think this might fill the bill for us. I’ll post the info tomorrow after I get it.

I know your intentions are good. But I think you should study the problems caused by giving out hand outs in Africa. You can Google, I think, an article from two years where an African UN minister begged the West to quit making Africans dependent on foreign aid welfare. I don’t know about this particular charity, but most food, medicine, for sure money goes into the tribal armies to keep the killing going.

I have some friends who live near Cuernavaca Mexico, they do a lot of good work at an orphanage that is completely funded by private donations. These are children who are abandoned by their parents. They can stay until they are 18 and then must go out on their own. While they are there they have food, shelter, medical care, school and a loving family atmosphere. I donate to the Casa Hogar because I trust my friends to know that it is a good place.
