    I think the greatest charities are the ones for children, especially for babies. Children are our world's future. If there is nothing to help these kids and if there are no children growing up healthy, fit and strong, we no longer will have a world. Besides babies need a fighting chance.

    There is thousands of good respectable charities besides the ones listed on this web site.
    I think all high schools should have a short class on volunteering. Volunteering has so much to offer people. At the some time the class instructor should explain that all successful volunteers receive more than they give and that is good. If they do not, they experience burn out and quit. It is imperative that one knows why they are volunteering. I like volunteering with EnviroCorps.org.
