Dear Friends,

A Ray of Hope is not a charity and we try as far as possible never to assist in currency form, but rather prefer to investigate what people, especially children, need throughout the world and to deliver that item directly into their hands. This avoids many of the pitfalls that exist in the world of giving.

We believe that diversity of culture is enrichment and actively look for and promote friendships ..... if we can assist our friends we do.

We have little difficulty in obtaining certain educational supplies and to date have distributed over $7 million worth. Some of the smaller items, although easily purchased, we feel it is to the benefit of everyone that those who wish can assist us and in doing so know that they have  helped directly.

No member of A Ray of Hope receives financial gain of any kind but the true satisfaction of knowing that, at very least, we are attempting to make a difference.

Maybe you could help with a small item from our present wish list of needs.

Don
