How to sponsor some one?

[beardo]

I think I want to sponsor a Mexican and a Somalian, im thinking about mailing 100 pennies a month, I just want to pick spmeone at random from one of their poor areas, how could I get a name and address? Maybe google earth or google maps? Anyone else want to do this? Maybe we can make it a movement or a trend.

How much did you give last year?

I originally meant this comment to be mean, but seriously, why are you talking crap on him? Hes asking for ways to help other people, and you want to make him sound like a jackass?

More giving than most people. Do u help the less fortunate in any way?

I usually donate atleast 200$ a year to american breast cancer society + i give my extra dollars to the bums when i vist the city

Plus shipping,
I cant afford to spare much at all but I figure if I drink faucet water instead of buying a gallon jug I can afford to spare a few dollars a month and I figer 100 pennies will be something for someone who has very little to look forward to each month, I usually get a gallon of water because im afraid of fluoride but I figuer the feeling I get from sending it will make me feel good and be worth it, plus I researched fluoride and its soposed to make you feel better so if I start drinking more of it maybe it will worry me less

I'm down, but if I'm sponsoring anyone I want to do it the tried and true American way. Let's pay them whatever it takes to write our names all over them for publicity.

well if you gave them a dollar instead of pennies you would save alot of shipping

So your a better person than him because you donate more money to some breast cancer group? oh and because you give money to bums?

Yeah but im thinking what if they can't get correct change for a dollar in Somalia or what if they want to haggle over price? Im just thinking reg100 pennies would go further than 1 dollar

I just want to mail it directly to them, its cool that you help the american breast cancer society, but they probably have so muvh overhead a big % of the money goes to pay saliries and expenses, when you give it to bums like you said you do at least you know the bum gets 100% of the money you gave, im just thinking my couple bucks would do a lot more good and mean a lot more to a Mexican or Somalian than my local bums, I do give my local bums my old clothes and food sometimes and make them blogna sandwitches when Im able to

according to the exchange rate the 1$= 33,000 Somali Shilling- a Kg of rice cost ~40,000 SOS, so i guess a pound and half of rice a month is better then nothing

I looked at it, it says something about loans, can you loan these people money? can I loan small amounts like a dollar? I saw the prices looked high. What do they put up as collateral? If I loan one of them a dollar how much interest can I charge? what happens if they don't pay? Say I loan out $5 and the guy puts up the title for his goat and he misses a payment can I foreclose on his goat? and if he does pay can I make good money on the interest from the loan? Say i lent $5 and the guy pays me 50 cents at a time, can I make say $20 off of him on a $5 loan? This seems like it might be a good opportunity, I would like to learn more.

Beardo , your kidding . Started out trying to help a guy in need and now your a loan shark ? I like your first idea . We used to do a lot for the homeless but after years of volunteering and helping out at the soup kitchen I moved away . Around here they get a lot more so I don't do that any more
