'World Vision' Program

One of the many public service announcements brought to by the friendly folks
at Seewald's art gallery. Don't forget to help an artist out with a small, or large donation: donation f o r m.

The Seewald's believe in making a difference in the world. Like Michael learned in the boy scouts, 'always leave a place in better condition than you found it'. While this mostly referred to trash in an area, there is no reason you can't apply this thought to the world in general.

This they do by donating a percentage of their income to an organization named "World Vision". (The organization only uses some 6% of it's income to run the company, with all other proceeds going directly to those whom it is intended... very needy children in very poor countries. This is about 30 to 40% less than similar organizations, an important part to remember, so you dollar goes for the intended purpose, to help needy kids.)

World Vision helps kids around the world, many of whom would possibly die, by taking them in and clothing, feeding and educating them. This at only a cost of $26 per child per month.

The Seewald's had sponsored up to 10 children in countries such as Peru, the Philippines, Africa, etc.. Their goal was to sponsor 12 children with each new gallery they opened. Times have been a little tough recently, hopefully when the things pick up they can start sponsoring more kids.
