Remember Eder, from Guatemala? He's one of the group of 11 kids sponsored on an ongoing basis by LangaList Plus! subscribers:
Eder comes from an indigenous family that speaks only the Spanish language and wears westernized clothes. Eder has two brothers. Both parents are literate. His father works as a merchant, and his mother does the house chores. The family's monthly income is below US$100.00. Their salary is not enough to provide their basic needs. They live in their own three-room dwelling, built of adobe walls, tile roof, and cement floor....

Since that last update, we've gotten irregular updates on his progress (he's still doing fine!); and I've collected those updates into an "Eder" folder. Here's how LangaList Plus! subscriptions funds have helped Eder during the last year (and keep reading to see how you can help, too!):

Here's what this is all about: Those of us with computers and Internet access
are vastly better off than most of the world's population.
Because of this, I decided that a portion of the LangaList Plus! subscription
fees would be donated to registered/legitimate charities helping the
underprivileged around the world. The contribution does not increase the cost of
a Plus! subscription in any way; the donation is taken "off the top" of any
profits. (This is described in the pages at
http://www.langa.com/plus.htm )
Eder is one of many children sponsored on an ongoing basis--- week in, week
out--- by the collective generosity of LangaList subscribers. LangaList Plus!
subscribers also have collectively contributed to emergency earthquake relief
efforts in India and to funds to help the victims of the Sept 11th attacks in
the US. (To see all the donations so far, click to

)
As the year goes on, and as more readers sign up for Plus! subscriptions, I hope
we'll be able to sponsor more children and assist other charities around the
world.
If you're already a LangaList Plus! subscriber, thank you! You can feel good
about giving back a little to those less fortunate, and opening a door to the
future for a child in otherwise-desperate circumstances.
If you're not yet a Plus! subscriber check it out: With a Plus! subscription,
you can not only help yourself make the most of your hardware, software and time
online--- but you also can help those less fortunate (like Eder) make the most
of their very lives. Thanks for your help!
