My friend, Larry Kapchinsky, runs a great relief organization, KidCare International. From his most recent newsletter: “For many families, celebrating the holidays this year will be an extraordinary challenge…Locally, (in San Bernardino and Riverside County, California) many poor children depend on KidCare International’s educational enrichment. food, shelter, and clothing, but there are thousands of children in South Africa, Tanzania, Russia, and Sri Lanka that would have little or no hope without the help of humanitarian agencies like KidCare International. Thousands of children die each year in these countries from a lack of the most basic human needs—food, shelter, clean water and sanitation.”
