Hi Brian, I had the opportunity to go to Eldoret, Kenya for 2 weeks this June thru Open Arms International. They relieve suffering and bring healing to children. I helped build the first of 5 new homes for kids who are found surviving on the streets or come from nearby slums. Many of the 125 kids I met at OAI's feeding program in the Kambi Teso slum area only eat one meal a day - 4 days a week. A lot of the kids only own one or two sets of clothes that they wear 365 days a year. After meeting and spending time with the founders, David and Rachel Gallagher, I see how true their hearts are and how passionate they are about helping these kids. The money goes where it says it goes. They are a wonderful organization and have my full support! You can feed a kid for $1 a day. Check out OpenArmsInternational.com for more info. I have pics up on facebook too. kr1082@yahoo.com Please prayerfully consider it. Thank you!

MakeoverPDX.com is a new Portland-based charity focused on helping women who have been victims of domestic abuse, recovering drug addicts, breast cancer survivors, etc. Their current charity is Dress for Success Oregon. The team is comprised of a cosmetic dentist, hair salon owner, and cosmetic physician.

Right now, KPDQ has a thing that you can donate $12/mo to feed a family in Haiti for A MONTH. http://www.foodforthepoor.org/radio/stations/kpdq.html is the link. I also always vote for donations to Options 360, a group that provides FREE pregnancy tests and ultrasounds and helps the girls with their pregnancies.
