| We have seen a lot of poverty, especially in the rural areas. We have also seen big signs for the charities which are helping these rural communities. One of them is Plan International. It is an excellent charity which has won awards for its work. Both of us sponsor kids through Plan. Your sponsor money does not go to the kid in question or its family but to the community as a whole to help out with improving sanitation, school supplies, medical supplies, potable water etc...It is really a worthwhile cause, so please think about sponsoring a child through Plan. |
