In Kenya thousands and thousands of children are orphaned every year where the responsibility of caring for them is left to their already aged grandparents or impoverished relatives. Those without anyone to care for them go to the streets and are easily abused and exploited – they are raped, enslaved in the sex trade,... provide cheap labour and many are trafficked in the multi-billion dollar trade. You can help reduce or stop this altogether, to rescue, to provide protection, care to them, provide a loving home and an education in order to build a lasting future for them!
We are looking to start a non religious, non political origination aimed at supporting orphans in Kenya. Although we feel that food, medicine, clothing and money might be temporary solutions we believe that education is the real solution to poverty in Kenya. We are currently looking for people who would be interested in getting involved. You don’t need any qualifications or experience, just an interest in what we are doing. you may contact us at charitygroupnz@yahoo.com

Best answer: This is a noble cause but not the right place and this post will probably be deleted. Try re-posting at projects, maybe?

Oh that's an easy question.
You just get a therapist, a doctor, an accountant, and a lawyer now. Then download gimp, audacity and virtualdub. Then realize he was never good to you and you have to give breakups time. Eat less and excercise more. Things tend to happen in cycles.
Then get something other than a yahoo account while you wait for this to be removed for not being a question.
Seriously though you're championing a good cause. When you are pitching it, I don't think the block of sufferingporn is necessary upfront. Good luck.

This sounds so incredibly akin to a scam that it's not funny. Please, nobody give money to charitygroup@yahoo.com - find somebody reputable if you'd like to contribute to this cause.

Not a question. Also, there are plenty of of organisations already doing this. If this isn't a scam, what makes you think Kenya needs another NGO? Why not donate to the organisations already working in this field?

Response by poster: The post was out of place..sorry..now posted under Projects, thanks for the lovely people who guided me on the right place to post it. Well, for those busy thinking about scams and their ill thoughts need to get themselves doing something better than only think negatively. That doesnt change the views of the many who would to join us!
