HELP International Donations


Friends,

I have not posted on this website in many, many moons. Frankly, Facebook has proven to be far more effective in spreading my thoughts--both great and small--to those who care to listen.

But now, I have something a little more significant to share, so I'm looking to spread it in as many ways as possible. I will going to Thailand this summer to do humanitarian work in the Hmong community of northern Thailand. Those of you who know me know that I speak Hmong, and that I *love* to speak Hmong. I will be assessing needs when I get on site, teach some English, and perhaps even build a few stoves.

However, as we all know, these endeavors can be pricey. So I am soliciting your assistance to help meet the needs of the Hmong people whom I love so much. While I will certainly gain personally from the experience, it will be only because I am using my talents and abilities to help an underprivileged people living in a less-than-prosperous region.

So please donate whatever you can. One dollar, five dollars, ten dollars. This isn't some overhead-heavy, sensationalistic enterprise like you see on television. This is Russ. And I just want to give back.

Just click on the button below to make your payment through PayPal. Every dime will be worth it and well-spent.
