I sent two postcards from Uk and some sweets for him to your office. I will look into moneygram as western union is way too much for me to do this. Or i am seeing Dave over here this month and i will give him money to take back. Im on a chemo type treatment at ther moment, Interferon, and im not working so i have to watch my pennies, but i still will be able to get him the present, i know he wants a model car, so maybe i will try to get dave to take stuff back:) Hi Molly, yes i know what people are like and i know they way we are percieved as gringas and this is the problem with helping, i try to explain i have to work for what i spend and soemtimes i dont work because of health stuff and im not a bank, i have a heart and i want to help but its also about my effort and love not all about finances. They have a warped view of us as thats the way they have been treated by many tourists and i can understand their view. I am returning to try to set up something, i want to be able to get them to learn basic skills, reading, writing, and computer skills so a place is needed and paper, pens, books and pcs to use. I cant wait to see Golbert. The warmth of the jungle people when you really know themk is incredible and i miss it Blessings and love Tessa Hi Bill!

I have had similar experiences and most of us have. I have more questions than answers. I want to toss this out to our community. How do we help a few select deserving poor children that have potential, without just throwing away our capital? There are hundreds of NGO's, and thousands of missionaries with a mandate to do this kind of work. NGO's where are you? What are you doing to help? Leave a comment here. Let us know you. Maybe we can work together. Maybe we can help. Bill Grimes Hi Molly, thanks for sharing the story of your experience trying to help. I have had similar experiences and most of us have.
