A while back I gave a very modest amount of money to http://www.donorchoose.org/. It was such a small amount to me, I didn't give it a second thought after I hit the button .

Much to my surprise when I walked in the house from a long day at MediaSauce (and Super Suppers) to find an envelop from them in my mailbox. I almost pitched it, because I didn't remember even donating! But WOW, what follow up by this company. I received a nice letter from the Executive Director of Donor Choose and then 3 letters and pictures from the kids that I bought books for! (they are from a school in NY)

Myself and 2 other contributors received these great letters and I wanted to share with you a couple poems the kids wrote to us, the book they are reading is Iqbal, a story about children slave labor. If you are reading this, please make a choice today to give!

Kneeling in the silent gloom

Working swiftly at the loom

Fingers blistered, fingers bleeding

All the colored strings receding

Torture in the Factory

It's for them, not for me

Weave in

Weave under

NEVER let your mind wander

for if you do

you'll hear the crack of the whip

and feel the pain of the sting

and you'll scream a scream that will ring

throughout the country

and into the next

but you'll NEVER know it's yours

because your mind will be fixed

on erasing your lines

and boarding that ship

and NEVER

EVER

looking back.
