You don't "sign up" for a charity per se.

I donate the money for you. All you have to do is "Request Transfer" --> send cash...I do the rest.

Currently all of the money will go to World Vision (www.worldvision.org), in support of kids who were dealt a rough hand. My plan so far is to sponsor as many children as possible at the end of the month.

Agree 100%, I never thought anyone would donate so much.

Even the $50/$100 donations have been crazy. I honestly don't expect anyone to donate more than $2-3 at a time...we are looking at some very unique people here.

The stereotype of poker players as greedy/uncaring people has to waver after this.

any word yet on 2p2 thread, facebook group, or myspace page? i want to help promote as much as possible (while still being lazy)

i dont get why not just go to www.worldvision.org and donates
u get a nice tax breaks if u donates often

I created a PokerDonors myspace page.

How would you like the password?

EDIT: I'm going to post a thread on 2p2 tomorrow.

But...if anyone is a regular poster there, I'd appreciate it if you created it/posted on the thread I create. I don't have much rep on that forum at all.

This is definitely possible, and I encourage it most def.

I provide a service for those who don't want to go through the hassle of cashing out, and going through all that crap.

yeah that's the thing, you SHOULD allow them to have a chance to develop into a capable productive human being. However, you can't give a poor person more money and expect him/her to reform their lives all of a sudden. They'll have more money but not even know the basics of mainstream society. A perfect example of how "giving" more extraneous money to the poor won't solve any problems. They're not gonna have the discipline to invest it, or use it to better their standard of living. They'll just spend it on beer or diapers instead of putting a kid through college.

Are you still doing this?? its like pissing in the pants to keep yourself warm, its not very good long term, they get a taste of normal life for one month and then its back to the shitter again, its no good in my oppinion, I would suggest you write world vision and ask them what would be the best thing to do, sponser fewer children for a longer time or many for a short time, please do that

It will only work if you get the same amount every month and I dont think that will happen or if someone else takes over when we leave the ones we started sponsering.

I also thought you might get some sort of relationship with the ones you start sponsering, you can write them mail and they will answer back, so it will be even tougher to just stop the sponsering again after a short while. Personally I would love to have some sort of update posted on here once in a while to see how the kids are doing.

"World Vision believes witnessing from Christ is a fundamental part of their relief work. The organization believes that God, in the person of Jesus, offers hope of renewal, restoration, and reconciliation. World Vision seeks to express this message through "life, deed, word, and sign".
All of its US staff are required to sign a statement affirming their belief in Jesus Christ and background checks are often made with a candidate's pastor or priest."

I too would be opposed to helping some christian fanatics...
There are lots of others to choose from:

This site is by far my favorite: " Child sponsorship admin costs
No deductions are made from the sponsors' payments for administration. We are very grateful for work done by office volunteers in our Cambridge office, which helps keep our costs low. Our administrative costs will be met by unrestricted donations and from tax we recover through Gift Aid. All sponsorship payments therefore go 100% to the charity's work for and around the sponsored child. For other details, including our response to occasional objections raised, see our Child Sponsorship FAQs. "


Here is their USA site, only 28$ a month:

http://www.sos-usa.org/cgi-bin/sos/js...jwppid=ussosuk&jwpbid=sponsorlink

"As a child sponsor, expenses such as food, clothing, school fees, medical care, and the salary of the SOS mother are subsidized by your generosity.

You will receive:
A welcome packet with your sponsor manual that provides information about the SOS village and its history, the role of the SOS mother, tips on how to correspond with your sponsored child and more.
Your sponsorship assignment that includes biographical information and a picture of your sponsored child, and information on their village and country where your child lives.
A mid-year report about your sponsored child as well as a situation report about current events in the village.
At the end of the year, you will receive a photo from your child along with a report about the village and a holiday greeting."


"What religion will my sponsored child be?
We bring up children in the prevailing religion of their country until they are old enough to make decisions themselves. If you would like to sponsor a Roman Catholic child, a Protestant child or a Hindu child for example, then we have many children available for sponsorship in countries where each is the national religion. Although many of our sponsors and people who work for us are religious and we treat religion very seriously, we do not try to introduce different religions or cultures into a region. In general we respect the local culture in its entirety: there are only a very small number of exceptions to this (we prohibit physical punishment of children even if local culture and law allows it)."





I really like this site!
