Note:Our group is a not for profit group and your donations will be appropriately used in the benefit of individuals and families we support in our humanitarian programs, some of the costs for shipping and managing the distributions will also come from donations. If you have a preference of recipient for your donations (ex: prefer to donate computers to schools), please let us know. It might be possible to arrange to meet specific needs from donors, but our intention is to attend the most needed communities and organizations first. We attend as many individuals and families as we can and we do not discriminate against any specific group and we also do not select any specific group as recipients based on their religion or political views. All the recipients and families in our programs are selected or invited based on their survival and social needs. As much as we would love to serve all disadvantaged communities, we are limited to the resources we have available through our donors and volunteers.
