Words can't express how much it means to see these donations coming in. Knowing that 84 cents of every dollar goes directly into a childs feeding and medical care is one reason why we are so enthusiatic about this effort.

I am hoping that when you lay your head down to sleep that a pleasant thought that your generosity literally helps keep children alive helps you sleep well. As I have often said, we cannot save the world but this, we can do.

Another huge word of thanks and appreciation to you all! :)

I send a very small donation directely to your paypal address yesterday and hope I did't cause any problems by doing so. I felt rather bad only donating $8, but that was all I had left in my paypal without having to get into my bank. However, I guess if everybody would just donate even just $ 8 dollars (the price for a pack of cigaretes), a lot of children could be fed. Thank you Major amd Imeo for setting this up. Will make a "real" donation soon again.

Hello all!

I'm sure even the casual visitor to the GG forums has seen the creator of the GG, Imeo Thanasis, is a passionate man about his creations and his friends here on ECF. Recently, in an unrelated thread, Imeo spoke of need but not his need.

His passion for the need he feels is to do our part to help feed starving children in Africa that cannot help themselves. As Imeo relayed his dream of this, he spoke of setting up a donation fund to a reliable organization. ChildFund International is one of the biggest and most reliable which was established in 1938.

They are a non-religious effort to feed and care for needy children world wide and as audited by independent sources, 81 cents of every dollar goes diorectly to the children in need. To read more about this organization, here is the link to their web site: ChildFund International .

As for the Fund itself, Imeo's idea takes into account that we all or most anyway, are having a hard time making ends meet ourselves. Most of us live from paycheck to paycheck so what Imeo proposed was simple. Even for those capable of giving more, to make this an equal partnership of caring persons here on ECF, there is a $2 dollar US maximum donation.

Each person who donates will be posted or can post their donation themselves in this thread. This post will be updated with Imeo's PayPal information. Even with tough times, I can easily see his thoughts on this. Two dollars is what we pay pay for a disposable carto which may or may not work or a plastic drip tip from a discount vendor.

We think nothing of that or at least I don't and I too have a very limited fixed income. So regardless of your take on charities or politics or anything else, this is easy for one and all. We're not asking for recurring donations but even so. With the numbers of good hearted people we have here on ECF, imagine what everyones $2 donation would mean to life of hungry children.

Thanks for reading and feel free to offer your comments or to send a PM with questions or suggestions. The holidays are just around the corner so let's get in the spirit by helping feed a child that would not otherwise get fed. We can't save the whole world but we can, with the combined power of our numbers, make a difference for some of its children! :)

EDIT: Here is Imeo's PayPal information: raptis@netone.gr . We also will be providing totals and donation totals as we progress.

I am so sorry for not reading the post correctly. I felt bad only donating $8 and wasn't aware that a donation of $2 was asked for. Anyhow, what's done is done and to Major, thank you for your passion. Studying psychology with the emphasis on Human Services, this is a topic close to my heart. Thank you !!!!

It is very sad to see not much charity going on in here for a while, so I've sent a small amount.

I hope some of you have given and asked not to be named, otherwise in 2 months, NOTHING.


Come on guys & gals,

think of all the money we save buy using our GG's compared to what we used to pay for ciggies.
