The Foundation advances this mission through efforts to upgrade the physical conditions that the children live in, provide for and encourage their well-being, and give them a basis for productive futures as they enter adult life beyond the orphanage."

As much as u love to post things like this, i hope you are contributing to the cause as well….
and we'd all like to assume you perez, gives to each charity you started advertising suddenly over the past few months.. it really looks like you're putting them up here to look like a philanthropist .. it seems to go against your character.. so, do you give?
They sure don't look like they're starving
They might not look like they are starving, but they definitely need help to transition into adulthood: learning to taking care of themselves, working, school, finding a place to live …. OMG, this is depressing me.
I have donated to this orphanage and I know someone who spends A TON of time over there… he fixed the heater and everything and spent a lot of time with the kids… they can't afford the books for school and they don't have many personal possessions at all, though we're all trying to fix that. just so they each have a few items to call their own. I donate to a ton of charities here in the US, but this one is also fantastic and the people who are doing the most work for these kids are wonderful people who really do care about their situation. we're so lucky here and a lot of us forget about that. Thank you for posting this one Perez!
When my husband and I first became foster parents, it was quite a shock to walk into a shelter (in this case a small ranch style home) with 10 children piled into 3 different bedrooms. So many of the children ran to us and wrapped their arms around our legs and just wanted attention. Two adopted children and 10 years later, I can't say how important it is to donate your time if your unable to donate money.
I wish international adoption laws were more relaxed so there would be less children living in these orphanages. Cute kids in that picture. Can you even imagine growing up like that? I can't. It's really heartbreaking.
I really do feel bad for these kids. Hey Perez, why don't you tell your beloved Angelina to adopt one of these kids!!!
Thanks for bringing attention to this.
[re=3259748]Re: mom - why does anyone care whether Perez personally gives or not. His web site sees a ton of traffic and him bringing attention to charities alone is a service. Obviously not everyone is going to read about or give to all the charities. However, if one or two catch someone's eye as hitting close to home and the person gives or at least learns about the charity - then Perez has accomplished something. Why would anyone criticize that in any way and why does Perez have to personally give to a charity in order to bring it some national attention?
