Came across this charity today, thought I'd share it with the forum. If you're like me, there is more happiness in giving than in receiving brownie points and brownie noses from fellow JW's and elders because you hand wrote antagonizing form letters to Malawi authorities who knew that your form letter was from an AmericanJehovah's Witness. Hello, McFly.
Be K.I.N.D. to a student in Malawi. Donate a desk.
Every day, millions of children throughout Africa struggle to learn while sitting on the floor or on the ground outdoors. Giving them a desk, where they can write and concentrate, is the first step towards creating an educational system that attracts, and keeps, eager young students.
Join the U.S. Fund for UNICEF and MSNBC's "The Last Word with Lawrence O'Donnell" in an ambitious campaign called K.I.N.D.: Kids in Need of Desks to provide 46,000 desks for 172 schools in UNICEF Malawi’s Schools for Africa network.
By making a tax-deductible donation to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF today, you can pick one or more students up off the ground and help pave their way to a better education and brighter future.
