Blogger Terrence Berres annually visits Guatemala in what he calls "Frijole days of obligation". His parish group accepts donations (email). Amy Welborn writes:
You might be put off by the bigness of certain charities. They serve their purpose, sure, but you want to make sure that your money and assistance is going as directly to those in need as possible. So you might always be on the lookout for ways to directly help out struggling schools, orphanages, clinics and so on. A lot of parishes and dioceses have just such direct relationships.
So..as an example of such a worthy object for our charity, here's SCOPE: Salvadoran Children of the Poor Education Foundation - a group that funds a single school in El Salvador.
