Something Awful is adopting a school in Haiti, and I figured i'd post something here because it's adorable as all hell and as soon as I get my financial situation straight these kids are getting a hundred bucks so goddamn quick. I'll post this specific bit from the thread so that you all can go ahead and think about this, and feel guilty as all hell if you don't do it you [m'kay] monsters.


What will my donation accomplish and what are their long term goals?

$5 will buy enough food for a child to eat breakfast for an entire week.
$30 will buy food and books for a child for a month
$200 is a teachers monthly salary
$360 will support one child for the entire year

[m'kay] your star wars game, donate to something that could save a kids life.


okay fine donate for your goddamn star wars too but do this as well or you lose all respect from me

Yeah, they're legit. Something Awful did this last year too, and one of the moderators on the forum is a friend of one of the founders. The BBC also did an article on them. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-14534703
