I was a new children’s Fund to establish the organization, which goes with the watering can around the country, but the children and young people is so strong that they can create their own power your way out of Hunger and poverty. Since the customer is calling magazine a large credit card company and asks me for a column. Affluent readership, but no fee – because I wanted to create at least one more value through my Text and wrote it as a call to the whole world, to participate in the establishment of the “Children for a better World”.
