If you check the annual report, they recently built 14 schools as part of this particular project. Our donation was enough to construct TWO.
With anything like this, though, obviously the money's pooled in their project resources, so it's impossible to say what, specifically, our moneyaccomplished other than to further the project as a whole - but clearly it's gone a long way.
In addition to building schools and training teachers, they've built latrines, a garden, and a rainwater collection system, issued 900 medical kits, andcared for 1,400 people via mobile health clinics. It's a fairly comprehensive program, one we're proud to have supported.
The founder of FTC is an alumni from my school, so I know a lot about the organization and it's an amazing one.
Great choice of charity for NT to donate to.
We'd been looking for a charity whose projects included constructing schools in developing nations. The staff wanted to step up in terms ofscale and combine over one full quarter's revenue to accomplish something that, we hoped, our members would find truly special.
Free the Children was an ideal choice in that it was founded by a student and designed to encourage young people to help children in other parts of the world. Given the youth of our community, it's a great message. You don't need to have millions of dollars and a charitable foundation to make a difference. Working together, we've proven as much by generating a substantial social impact using something as meager as the ad revenues from this site. And, again,that's not the end point - that's the beginning. We hope people will take this humble example and move with it. We can do much, much more as acommunity to benefit others and our world.
I'm thrilled to hear that you're considering a contribution to this cause. You can donate to Free the Children here: http://www.freethechildren.com/donate/index.phphttp://www.freethechildren.com/donate/index.phpOriginally Posted by PearI Jam
