Has anyone ever heard of Telefood?

Question

This group looks really interesting and being that poverty is an issue in some adoption "topics" i was wondering if anyone has ever heard of this group, if they've used them? or could give me any references to experience with them?

It appears for $10,000 or less they restore communities, give them the means necessary to farm and provide for the future and help get communities back together and working!

Answer 1

Yes, there are many charaties where you can purchase livestock for needy families, and be active in a variety of ways...  It's a great idea:

Answer 2

Great link!  Thanks.  That $10,000 figure is substantially less than the cost of an international adoption, eh?

Answer 3

Thanks Gershom,

Looking for volunteer work for next summer. Sounds good so far.  Appreciate the link.

Answer 4

the only thing I can say without going into great detail is...I worked for a company similar to Feed The Children and we handled international donations and projects...most of the money is kept within the company and a small percent goes to the Villages to start farming etc...never heard of that company...sorry....

Answer 5
