Excuses, Excuses, Excuses

          Everybody wants to help starving orphans, our hearts are all touched by the pictures we see on television. But how many of us actually do anything about it? I have been as lax as anyone in not doing something to help the world’s most unfortunate children. But I have finally reached a point in my life where I am ready to do exactly that. This year I will be traveling to different parts of the world to assist unfunded orphanages in small villages. I will be starting in Thailand and then Cambodia and Laos. I am hoping to reach some places in the middle east, but that will depend on the political situation at the time. Many times in my life I have wanted to donate to these orphans but just did not have the finances to do so.

          I have set up a private charity for the purpose of helping orphanages and orphans. I know everybody wants to assume it is a scam to make money but this is not the case. I will be getting something from it, but not the amounts the big charities pay their executives. I have set it up as a private charity and will therefore be required to pay taxes on the unspent money each year.

          You can help by donating a small amount, one dollar a month is not a lot to feed hungry orphans. You can donate more although all I am asking is for one dollar a month because we can all afford such a small amount. It is set up to charge you $12 one time a year for 5 years, if you are unhappy with the way the money is being distributed cancel the donation after the first year.
