I'm going to subtweet some people. If you grew up in the US and Canada (and probably elsewhere), and especially if you went to church, you're probably familiar with "sponsor a child" charities, or Operation Christmas Child. There's a bunch of them, and maybe the most well-known is World Vision.
what do you think of sos children's villages? one of my exes grew up in one in northern india so i've given to them before, but also that was a long time ago now
