    does anyone sponsor a 3rd world child and write/send stuff to them?

    Try as I might I can never get around to it - it's just never as important as the dozen projects 24 hours away from being impending disasters at any one time... And it's been 5 years.. lol. do most people write to them - is my kid the only one in the village not getting an xmas card (sent to me by worldvision to send back) from his bastard sponsor? I'd rather buy him a goat or something on visa.. sooo much easier.

      WorldVision is very much a part of the 'right wing conspiracy' circle that would just assume see your porn ass starving and dead.

      Please stop sending them money.

      Might consider looking into <a href="http://www.heifer.org/"> Heifer International </a> instead. Much more sustainable giving.

          Oh trust me I know they give them bibles to eat and all that. As an atheist I'm very aware of all of that, and as a realist I know that all the money doesn't make it to the child, but in the end it came down to there not being as much choice 5-6 years ago in terms of easy research on alternatives, I didn't exactly find the non-religious equivalent so instead of doing nothing I went ahead with WorldVision.

          Heifer looks awesome though.. exactly the sort of thing I would like to do, buy two goats for $250 and set a family up to look after themselves and the community. It's bookmarked. I just rang up WV after posting this thread though and made a $150 donation to buy school equipment for the kids in my kid's village and a soccerball and pump on top of it for him.
