		<description><![CDATA[Respected Madam/Sir,
The President.
Women Development Welfare Society (WDWS) India.

WDWS is an organisation working for the most oppressed and depressed people in the surrounding society. From past some years this organization is working for women particularly dalit women and for their development. When we saw them facing the dangers of poverty, hunger, environmental hazards, parental negligence, illiteracy, forced child labour, ill health etc., we decided to intervene and do something to address their distressed conditions. Of all these dangers, we felt hunger and hygiene should be taken up first. We have implemented different developmental programs for dalits. Some are: -    Women rights awareness programs.
-	Environmental educational programs.
-	Micro – credit training programs.
-	Income generation training program for tribes.
-	Skills training programs.
-	On human rights.
-	Gender equality trainings at block level.

Requesting for grant application and grant guidelines.
Thanking you,
A.Jamunarani Msc.
Project co-ordinator
Women Development Welfare Society (WDWS) India.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello friends,

  Please do your best to get this letter in the hands of the proper person that can help me help others...

  I have a question and a HUGE request I would like to ask. I would like to know if I could come to work for your organization on a mostly volunteer basis, or if you might have any contacts/referrals for me? I am looking to more or less donate my time on a permanent basis, to any organization or individual that is involved in spreading the type of information that we all know is so important for everyone to see, and awaken to. I will work for a minimum 32-40 hours a week, and all I am asking for in return is shelter, food and a small allowance for survival purposes.

 In other words, I am looking to make a difference in this ever changing world, at this very important time for humanity. I would prefer to work for a non profit organization, but at this point I would be willing to do anything that will help the world see the changes ahead. I truly feel the need to work for the betterment of humanity, as I believe it is what my life purpose was always intended to be.

 A little about me...

 I am a life educated, 49 year young single man, that has the deep desire to help make a difference. I no longer want to sit around and watch the world go by... all while humanity is sucked into the deception of today&#039;s mainstream media and manipulating governments, as most are sitting back and having a contest to see who can die with the most toys. All the while, at the same time the children in Africa (and all parts of the world for that matter) are starving to death. I just really feel the need to do what I can to help turn that attitude around...that&#039;s all.

 I have no children and no ex-wife to hunt me down. No warrants or IRS bills that are overdue. I am just an honest &amp; simple guy, with no skeletons in my closet whatsoever. I am willing to relocate if the opportunity calls for it, as long as the location is to my reasonable satisfaction. If it is working with a non profit org., I could probably manage to pay for my food for a short while?

  I should add that I have recently returned after a 6 month stay in Kenya, Africa. I went there to start an NGO, or better known here in the USA as a non-profit org. I named the org. &#039;Metta OutReach Foundation&#039; (http://mettaoutreach.org)...

&#039;Metta&#039;

The Pali word metta is a multi-significant term meaning loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness and non-violence. The Pali commentators define metta as the strong wish for the welfare and happiness of others... 

  I was successful in getting it started and certified with the help of private donations. Sadly I didn&#039;t have enough funds to remain, as my work visa would have cost me almost $1500. Monetary donations were very hard to come by in Kenya, and I exhausted my personal funds as well as most of my friends and family donations.

  Metta OutReach is still active and I plan to finish what I started, but from here in the USA. I have many contacts and partnerships now established in Kenya that will help me to reach my goals of helping humanity as a whole, starting in Kenya and hopefully progressing to an international organization. My most important partnership is with &quot;Fountain of Mercy&#039; orphanage in the city that I lived in located near Nairobi, Kitengela. We have also partnered with HANDS(http://heands.org/) and we are targeting a slum of 1400 people that I am aiming to help. My main goal is to find a way to help, while at the same time being able to survive without ending up homeless and being able to solicit funds to help my African project succeed.

 I&#039;m not at all afraid to work. I&#039;m open to any offer or opportunity that might arise. I just want it to be for the right purpose and for the right reason.

I appreciate any help that you might be able to offer...PEACE!
                                                                                                   
                                                                                                                                    Most sincerely,
                                                                                                                                     John Jenkins
