No Africa. Looking at girls in the Philippines so they can get an education and hopefully not whore themselves out to Marines on deployment... |
The marines could just get the fuck out of the Philippines. Waste of money and resources
And I'd agree go with a non-religious charity. People in need require sustenance and shelter, perhaps an education, not more superstition.

I like this. How would you go about doing something like that? I've got nothing but time. |
Basically, its the same as a job application really, when my mother was doing Red Cross work I got roped into it after ditching high school and ended up piloting a light plane full of doctors from one end of east Africa to the other when I had the time.
Will to do it goes part of the way, something YOU can do as a skill counts for the other half.
Personally I don't recommend it, you do need to look at something in the way of a constructive career for yourself now that you have/where leaving the military. (but by all means do what you can when you can)

Yeah I got out back in June. When in Japan i was voluntold to visit a school and just play with the kids. Back then all I wanted to do was drink and act a fool not really caring about all this stuff. I really enjoyed it even though the kids were all spawns of SATAN! They were like seagulls trying to steal all your shit!
When I deployed to the Philippines we went to a really run down school and brought them food and juice. It was the first time I have ever experienced poverty like this. But the kids were so happy and full of life. They loved us and it was so much fun playing with them. I remember looking at my buddy and he had five kids on each arm pulling him. I really didn't want to leave. But when it was time it was like tearing apart a mother/father from their children. The kids were crying saying i love you and all that. Was really touching.
I'm now sponsoring Paolene from the Philippines through childreninternation.com

I am also going to be sponsoring a well in Africa.
New years resolution, helping more people!

It's probably because I'm drinking, but when I quickly glanced at the pic of that girl, I SWORE she was holding a cocktail glass.

I was sponsoring a little argentinian boy for a long time. He needed growth hormones and is still only 5ft 5. He dreamt of being a professional footballer. His name was Lionel.
Now he earns more in a second than I do in a year and I think he should sponsor me
