Nature Conservancy

This largest of the anthropoid apes are in the blink of extinction. With the looming civil wars in several areas in their native Africa continent, gorilla numbers have plunged into crisis.Several organizations are trying to save these gorillas but they might not be able to escape from their fate if the wars still keep perpetuating.

Sometimes I just wonder what will we have left if we finally achieve to kill each other?

This picture was captured in the San Diego Zoo in Jan, 2002.

These are some organizations that I think are very active and worth supporting.

Please take a look of these organzations' websites and read their policies. If you like their philosophy and work, please support their activities by donating some money. You never know how many people you can help to survive with your little donation.

Doctors without Borders
This Nobel Peace Prize awarded organization are helping the people all around the world, in particular, in the poor countries like in Africa, Latin America and Asia. These dedicated doctors are risking their life even in the war zones like Africa.

Save The Children
This is another great organization that it does not waste its money on something so-called "Admin cost". They save a lot of children all around the world, in particular, the Third World. Just 30 dollars a month, you can save one innocent life. For some people, it might mean just skip having a glass or two of wine. I do believe we can help saving those beuatiful souls.

Citymeals-on-Wheels
 It breaks our heart to know that at least one in four elderly New Yorkers is living alone, too poor to buy food, or too frail to shop and cook. Citymeals hand-delivers meals to those needed elderly and spends time chatting with them on the weekends and holidays . 100% of donations go directly to nourish the elderly.
