Although this is a time of severe economic hardship, children have the least capacity to survive. Add onto that the los or absence of nurturing parents, you have a recipe for lasting devaluation of the human family. I hereby pledge $100 to SOS as friendly challenge to our friends and coleagues at Ellen. $1.00, a big one, is the challenge. You may give more as your situation allows. Please send to:
Gambia-L/SOS Secours
C/O The GDP
P.O. Box 775
Lithia Springs, GA 30122

You may send your donation in any currency or instrument and the amount, in its various currencies, will be forwarded by FEDEX to SOS Kinderdorf International and due recognition for Gambia-L will be given and haed here. It is highly recommended to send various currencies to symbolize theinternational nature of SOS. We will mark July 4th as cease-date for this challenge and depending on response, we will establish a ONE-DOLLAR SOS FUND at www.thegdp.wordpress.com to continue the effort for eternity.

By copy of this note to Richard and Hugh, SOS is informed of our effort.

Thank you friends and coleagues of Gambia-L. Haruna.

Dear Haruna Darbo

One piece of news follows the other these days: refugees, displaced people, amongst them thousands of children with or without their families or temporarily separated from their families in the chaos. Losing the safe haven of one's family, even if it is "only" temporarily - like in exceptional situations such as war or natural disasters - has a catastrophic impact on children's souls. In such situations SOS Children's Villages considers it as a matter of priority to take care of children. Though the organisation supports these children materially, it attaches more importance to providing emotional security. Currently SOS Children's Villages is trying to support children in Sri Lanka and Pakistan and to take every possible step to learn about the whereabouts of their families. If these children's families are not found, there must be a place where these children can live on a long term basis and where they can feel at home one day, when their pain has eased.

Sixty years of experience have shown us what children need when they - for a number of reasons - can no longer live with their families. We kindly ask you to continue to support these children.

Best wishes,

Richard Pichler
Secretary-General of SOS-Kinderdorf International
