How can you help?

Many of the readers of this blog have asked: How can we help the people in the orphanages and centers profiled on Lives in Focus. It is obvious but what they need most is money to provide the treatment, the care and the activities to keep the children healthy. Others need funds to help pay for representation in the courts.

Lives in Focus has compiled a list of places you might send a check. Remember the exchange rate between the dollar and the Indian Rupee turns even $5 dollars into a windfall for these places. The centers below are also international tax-deductible charities. Please do mention that you heard about them through Lives in Focus:
