Political & Environmental Action
Ascent Russian Orphan Aid Foundation is a non-profit charity that spends 100% of
donations to provide basic necessities such as food, clothing
and shelter to Russian orphans and homeless children. There are
more than 4 million orphans and homeless children in Russia.
Most of them live on the streets or in underground sewers and
desperately need food and clothes. Only the luckiest of them live
in orphanages which often do not have hot running water or even
such basic necessities as a shower or a toilet. Visit our current
projects or bite size projects sections to see what $20 can do!
Sponsor a child to make a difference in someone's life today and
put a smile back on the child's face! http://www.russianorphan.org/
Our goal is to reach people from all over the world and to help
all disadvantaged and less fortunate children.
THE ANNAMALAI REFORESTATION SOCIETY
The ARS was formed as a residents' response to the desperate situation
facing Arunachala, a sacred mountain in India. They work for the
reforestation and conservation of Arunachala and the environs,
and acknowledge the sacred human duty to counter erosion of soil,
water, air and gene-diversity, by adopting responsible and
responsive life-styles. You can donate money to sponsor trees
to be planted in your name.
Those desiring to know more about the work and the energy behind
it, can visit ARS' web site http://www.come.to/annamalai
