More added as time allows! Here's a way to help some of those very needy women in India: Donations to Esther's Work Esther's Women's Work is registered in India as a charitable organization. In 2003 I took the additional steps of having it approved by CCMSM, a Canadian non-profit ministry that sends 100% of donated monies to designated charities, so that Canadians can contribute and receive a tax receipt. Esther and her co-workers provide careful accounting of where all monies are spent, and the books are audited yearly. Any sum is welcome and needed. According to what I saw, money is used and administered carefully and wisely. Canadians may donate money to the Esther's Women's work through: CCMSM (Cross Cultural Mission Support Ministries) #310-32025 Tims Ave. Abbotsford, BC V2T 2H3 CCMSM channels funds all over the world, so it's important to specify on your cheque: for Esther's Women's Work, India reference: Kathleen Gibson For further information about CCMSM Contact: Art Hamm Ph. 604:855-3892 Email: [email protected] return to Just as I Thought home page Miramma, Esther, and I.
