Thanks for digging into your own pocket and making a sacrifice in order to drastically improve the life or lives of poor kids in poor countries. Without question, this is money very well spent.

Remember, 100% of every penny that you give goes directly to helping these children. I am completely financing the trek up Kilimanjaro out of my own pocket and all overhead and fundraising expenses incurred by The Smile Train are paid by members of their board. So all, absolutely all of your gift goes to giving these kids a fair chance at a decent life. Exciting isn’t it?

If you would like to contribute with cash, check or bank transfer, please contact me.

Thanks again for your help!
