my forum sponsors a child through the canadian branch of http://www.plan-international.org/ we chose plan international because it's not relgiious, and over 84% of the donations go to the families and chidlren. It's about $33 dollars a month, and you get photos, letters, and some great information packages, but most of all you get to help a kid who maybe doesn't have everything in life it's the cost of like...cable internet and i know there are lots of philanthropists on DP. If we all pooled our money (like a 10 dollar donation from people) we could sponsor hundreds of kids! [just estimating from the donation drive to raise money for the servers] just something to think about
