Answer 1

Hi! You left a message for me on another post. I went through World Vision.

I chose them because they have low administrative costs and the majority of their money goes to the causes. I write to my sponsor child as much as I want, and I get letters back from them regularily. I also get an annual update on how he is doing. I am very happy with it.

If you ever want to check out how charities are run and how they rate compared to similar ones, try:

It is good to hear that you are more generous than governments and their instutions. Notice how powerful nations say, "we forgive the debts of Africa", when it is actualy Africa owning them more than they will ever make in 1000 years to come.

This is how to help them...

It is legitimate, and I am part of it. They will send you a follow up information about the child, and his/her progress.

Good luck.
