Blogging for Bunso Lita
Bunso Lita was one of the first World Sisters United recruits that I made. She hails from the Island of Samar in the Philippines. Lita was raised in a family of fishermen working the waters around Samar Island using a traditonal outrigger boat. Her father passed away a couple of years ago after a years of poor health. This led to hard times for Lita and her family. I paid for a Sari Sari shop for Lita's family and that has helped provide them with a steady income but it's not enough. Lita's older brother (pictured below by the boat) has been trying to raise the money to buy another boat after loosing the first one to hard times. So we are trying to raise the money here for a new boat. They found this boat (below) for sale for 10k php (US$245.70 @ 2/11/08 exchange rate). This boat will provide the family with all their income needs. This is not a lot of money to make such a difference. Please help out Lita and her family now. Even a dollar helps!

It's great that you have a blog on charities, I have been trying to develop one myself. How do you contact all these families in need?
Do you have a place for donations for this family, I can post a link on my blog as well if you'd like.
Good Luck!
I started a non-profit called World Sisters United(WSU) that has 8 chapters in the Philippines and two chapters in India. The basic premise of the organization is providing media creation tools and training to dispossessed women around the world and developing ways of using the media to help others. Currently there are 25 members in the Philippines all of them are very poor. So these blogs are to help them. This blog is expanding into a larger web portal called p2pgiving.org, which will be ran by WSU. At that time the WSU members will find more people in need and facilitate the giving process to others.
Donations can be made directly to our paypal account which goes to our PNB bank account in Philippines. wsu_phi@yahoo.com
also I can be emailed for more info at larriji@gmail.com.
thanks so so much for your kind words and support! keep in touch!
