An important note about THIS web-site:

This web-site has been created "in-house" so as to reduce our overhead. Rather than create elaborate graphics and eye-catching exhibits, we have attempted to tell our story, answer all of the questions we have heard in the many years of our existence (including our predecessor, since 1995), and allow the reader to find what he or she is looking for. We know that the reduction of our overhead (less than us$1,000 since inception in 2001) leaves more funds for our mission: that of helping the children of San Miguel. We also want the reader to know that organizations that spend more of their funding on their own mission, and less funding on overhead, are organizations that we are more likely to fund with our own grants to them.

Additionally, as we have spent countless months creating this web-site and more time updating it whenever necessary, we encourage any grantee to have spent some time reading and understanding it so that we don't have to "re-invent the wheel" with the newest volunteers at each individual grantee and what they think are their own unique questions.

Lastly, though, if you have looked for an answer to your question and with full consideration to what we say in the paragraph immediately above, you still can not find your answer, email the question (in specific detail) to the email address below and we will answer it for you AND, if the Founder is still alive, place the missing question and missing answer on this web-site.
