Anyone interested in sponsoring a child or assisting with a contribution can do so by going to www.franciscan.org and clicking on DONATE. You can also send a check to my Franciscan provincial offices in Cincinnati--FriarWorks, 1615 Vine Street, Cincinnati, OH 45202. The gift for US folks is tax-deductible. They wire the funds into our account here. Gifts can be sent me at the address in Weathermon and Milady's thread above. YOU CANADIANS--I just learned that the Franciscan Friars in Western Canada can accept your gift for us--you get a tax break I am told. I am waiting to hear where you send the contributions! Stay tuned!

tfw73 mentioned that if those babies have an empty stomach they cannot learn! That's why we serve breakfast at the Kitchen every school morning. We happily spent USD$1 00 on breakfast from January through June this year. --Fr. Jim
