I never got a response from the newspapers I emailed. I was too chicken to call, heehee.
I talked to my mother about it. She said at first it was probably not true then I told her they were actually listed on the UN site as an NGO. I had to explain to her three times that it WAS the official UN site and that I had read an article about it online at a REAL newspaper site. She was disturbed by it, but was felt it was a mistake by an imperfect human back at headquarters.
I left it at that.
