Answer 2

1. In the 1990s I used to be involved with a Milton-Keynes based organisation, which, as part of its activities, helped raise money for charities working with street children in Latin America.

2. Toy Box (reg . no. 1080423) was considered, but rejected (because of reasons of its size - it appeared to be a shoestring operation, providing employment for its founder/director). However since then it has grown clearly, but fairly suddenly.

3. My organisation supported:-

a) Children of the Andes [Colombia] (reg. no.1075037)

b) Task Brasil [Brazil] (reg.no. 1030929)

and was going to support

c) Casa Alianza [Central America] (reg. no. 1073903)

4. You can see how well these respective charities have performed financially, by visiting the Charity Commission website .....

a) Toy Box - income 2006 £1,400,000 [NB income 2000 £nil]

5. This may have no impact on your volunteering, but if you are going to do that in Bolivia or Guatemala (rather than fundraising where you live, or helping with the administration at their Bletchley office), you may want to ask further questions just to safeguard your own interests.
