Charity is a very controversial subject in our hemisphere. It has become a business field of its own, a moral fig leave for the very very reach. I am not a fan of charity of this kind. I love small scale charity like the one I hope we got involved with now.
Everybody knows that lots of donated money disappears in dark channels, and never reaches the victims. The project we just made our commitment for seems to be different. In charge is a small non-profit association “we care4″ founded by triahtlete Sven Hungerbühler and his wife. Team streetkids is one of their projects. In the center of the activities are the triathetes Sven himself, and the brothers Till and Lutz Schenk. Their goal is to raise money for homeless kids in South Africa. The donated money will be invested in school, education and shelters for the poor kids. We care4 does not takes any administrative fees. All the money goes right to the executors of the projects on ground.
The projects started already and will end with the Ironman South Africa on April 25, 2009. On sereval platforms you can follow the activities of the guys: tillschenk@gmail.com - www.wecare4.ch - www.tridudes.com
