    Wow......trublu
    Seeing the faces of those children is heartbreaking. I can't even imagine what their life must be like. I will share this with others as well. I had never heard of this organization. Thank you very much for opening my eyes a bit wider today. I am blessed.

    Blessings to you!

    Thanks for the info. Very helpful.

    Those governments provoking and suffering war must take one step to help those kids.
    Taking care of the orphan ones should be their responsability.

    Thanks to those organizations who make the change. Ones builds, others distroy and the rest rebuilt.
  • Wars are always unnecessary (and heartbreaking for so many people), and what really angers me is that it's precisely the Western powers (countries such as the US and the UK) that sell weaponry to countries like Congo and Uganda and Sudan... They're perpetuating a cycle of violence and making war possible! And as long as the weapons trade and big-time corruption continue, I'm afraid there will be no end to conflict and misery and refugees.

    The 20th century has seen: WWI, WWII (including the Holocaust), Hiroshima & Nagasaki, Pearl Harbor, Chinese mass massacres by the Japanese, Rwanda, Darfur, Bosnia, Vietnam... And that's not including the effects of communism and of dictatorships.

    You'd think that nations/governments would learn - or care, for that matter. But in all of mankind's history was there a single century that wasn't bloody?!

    I totally agree, wars are unnecessary, but somehow seem inevitable in this world apparently dominated by power struggles, conflicts of religion, money and greed.

    These poor children did not sign up for this, and neither did their parents and families. Every child has the right to feel safe, if you ask me, but life is just not that way for some, and if you are unlucky enough to be born in a war zone, I cannot imagine living in such constant fear.

    This is why I felt it is a worthy cause.

    Love to you all and thank you for sharking this info if you can.

    Yes. Al-Andalus had a peaceful era where all religions and communities lived within tolerance and respect.

    Sweden hasn´t have a war for centuries.

    I still have hope for a peaceful world.

    There were times of peace.... when the true Word of God was faithfully followed.... but it didn't last very long. I have in mind the atrocities suffered by the people of Palestine where the same ugly wall has been built as the one built not that far ago. But nobody in the higher powers says a thing. People are dying, children are left orphans, hatred rules in that country but nobody says a thing. The world organizations are just a mockery of what freedom and help really is and nobody says a thing. I wonder what those who work in these places have in mind and see that change does not happen? All this happens because nobody says a thing. But now it is time that we speak the truth. I'm sorry but today I feel hopeless about mankind and change will come only with a Divine helping hand. I'm sad sorry again. Hope I'll be better tomorrow. God bless you.

    How about adding this web-site to our donation list? We have 9 orphanages in the list that were offered by the believers. We can add this one to the list too. What do you think? <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
