Thank you Optimist for the opportunity to share the good work of Latin American Foundation for the Future (LAFF) with even more people - thousands of street children in Latin America need support to break out of the poverty cycle. With your help, we can reach even more of them! Thanks for voting for us today on the Charities page, and check out our website on www.laffcharity.org.uk

Hi There, I hope this is the first time I have sent this to you. I wasn't logged in the first time I think. I would like to submit our charity to your wonderful web site! Our charity is the Kainos Community and our web address is www.kainoscommunity.com Please feel free to have a browse around our site and if you feel it is appropriate we would love to submit an artical for the site. We may possibly be able to provide a video - although this would be hard for us to do in prison as vi
