If you are serious about it then send $20.00 a month to Mehrieh khaireh-khadijeh or mehreh-khadir charity in Tehran or your city of choice. they even have fundraising centres in north american big cities. they cover orphans and it realy helps..i do every month. cheers!!!

I don't trust those Khairiehs...I do sponsor a couple of kids where I directly give the money to their parents.

I suspect these kids are working for child-slave rings who supply them with these weight scales. These weight scales are too ubiquitous throughout the city.

Dear Faraway,; I had the same doubts but I personaly checked thru family members who are directly involved. These are publicly held, privately funded charities(khod-joosh). & yes ofcourse they have to kiss some mullahs a$$ to get some extra funding in exchange for a photo up but thats the reality of the land & no one is sin-free in in thew sin-city. There are even buletins & magazines published monthly on kids progress. I know of atleast 40+ kids who have been covered by one khairieh since very early ages & some of em are actualy in their way to university . They all are like brothers & sisters who grew up together and are in touch with each other even after they leave the care of the compound. it is the best you can get considering its Iran. Believe me, If a planet kiaan idealist like me finds it legit, then its legit ::)). cheers dear!!!

That is excellent news. Thank for the info. Is there a website for this charity?

I cant publicly give you the one I deal with but check these few for now for orphan girls , & some mixed-gender childrens & do your due dilligence dear;,

Thank you samsam aziz. You are so kind.

Zendanian, please do not blame me for your own past mistakes. I had nothing to do with it.

The pseudo-radicalism and dominant petty-bourgeois mentality remains the same.
It goes something like this: you can't help the poor because you're preparing, or proposing (as is the case in here) to overthrow the state. As if once the state is overthrown, we'll all have "the moment of truth," and no more homeless, no more....and all that nonsense.

Overthrowing the state has often begun with the most mundane reformist tasks and slogans.

Go and change this situation with reform, I will support you. Just don't wine instead. I support any change through whatever means. Just don't roseh khaani for me which was the issue before you changed it to Reform vs Regime change.

If you want to have your "coming out" party as a "Reformist" at my expense, be my guest.

It wasn't me that called raising attention to the plight of hungry children and poor in here as:
"being sentimental about scenes such as the one you have posted is self indulgent and useless."
There's nothing useless about helping a handful of children at a time, and making sure they don't go to sleep hungry. Thank you Samsam for all the info. And yes, that is a "reformist" gesture.

Of course anything short of a complete "revolution" for our virtual-revolutionary radicals is just not acceptable. Your pseudo radicalism remains intact. The problem with your types of "Revolution" is that, they are more of the same.

You can't see the tree, yet you "know" how to restructure and remake the entire jungle! Only in Iran.

Zendanian grow up! I have said what I have to say to you.

Yes, you have expressed enough insolvable contradictions in your statements for one day. Heck of a job.

Crying out is not exactly a "solution" per se. Perhaps it's only one step towards taking that direction.

Kindly also note that shedding tears at an opera like Madame Butterfly in spite of such scenes would be taking insensibility and superficiality to new heights.

... or a changing of the system.

Thanks I will.
