FreeSchools World Literacy is a registered Canadian charity that works to end illiteracy among the world's poorest. We believe illiteracy and ignorance go hand in hand and are the root causes of extreme poverty. This leads to violence, discrimination, human trafficking, and ultimately human suffering. We seek to end this by providing a low-cost, non-formal education to those who need it most. We have 79 schools in operation in parts of India and Thailand, and have improved the lives of over 3,000 people. Through our field partners we secure a donated and safe environment - helping to keep our costs very low - and hire a local teacher who truly understands their community. Our program is secular and does not impose any Western value: instead we encourage each school to evolve on its own. Help us break the cycle of extreme poverty and violence against these most vulnerable of people by donating today.

Hancock Wildlife Foundation believes that through education and research we can better conserve our wildlife resources in the face of human interaction. Given time and encouragement the wildlife of our planet can co-exist with man as shown by the tremendous resurgence of the bald eagle in urban and suburban areas after being almost wiped out by poorly thought out laws and human greed. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation is seeking funding for projects which include research and conservation initiatives. As the foundation grows, we will hire more staff-many younger talented people committed to our cause must still make a living. As David Hancock says, "If we can support that, then that is marvelous. However, it is both my position and belief that we will also find, already have found, so many additional talented people with some time (and or dollars) to give that "community stewardship". You, the volunteers, the stewards' of your community, my community-earth, are our biggest asset."
