=) May I just ask if you have been there personally?

As is usual with me, I kinda got excited about it and jumped in with both feet.
Someone from the charity emailed me and thanked me for my donation and asked me how I found out about them. I replied saying that I saw their website, to which he replied that it is very rare for someone to donate after just seeing their website, and that most people visit and check them out first.

After thinking about it for a while I realized that it was either silly/naïve or just very trusting of me to send money after just seeing their site. Anybody can make a website with pictures of kids on it I suppose.

So I will be going to pay a visit in December when I am there and hopefully be able to take some pictures and maybe post them here.
