Donating to St. Lucia - Since You Asked

I've gotten a lot of questions about what the children at St. Lucia need and how people can help.

After talking with Connie Naber, the Director of Karama Connection (she fundraises and organizes volunteers for St. Lucia), it's evident that the BEST WAY for anyone to help is to donate online.

I'd love to arrive at St. Lucia with armloads of toys, treats, clothes and medical supplies, but with the extra expense of paying for baggage on flights, it's just not practical. Someone else mentioned shipping supplies before we get there - Connie said shipments only arrive about 50 percent of the time.

It's also best to donate directly to St. Lucia (by donating online) because then your money can be spent on exactly what they need at the time. And as an added bonus - supplies are less expensive in Tanzania and spending there helps their economy. According to the CIA World Factbook, Tanzania is in the bottom ten percent of the world's economies in terms of per capita income. Right now, we all know what it's like for the economy to need a boost.

So if this interests you, please visit the Invest Now section of Karama Connection's website. Please also consider joining the 300 Club, a recurring investment option.

Thank you for asking.
