Mulyo "Mohammad" Cahyono, Age 5
We've added another child--- the twelfth!--- to the group of kids sponsored on an ongoing basis by LangaList Plus! subscribers. Here's a note I got from an aid agency working in Java, Indonesia ( http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/asia/id.htm ):
Mulyo Cahyono was born into a desperately poor family in Central Java. He lives with his parents only in a very simple house, earthen floor without private bathroom and electricity. His father tries hard to earn a living by working as a day laborer, but he earns very little that it is impossible to meet the family needs. His mother, although resourceful at trying to make the most of the little, cannot do much with her husband's low income. The family's annual income is around US$120.00. It is painfully obvious that the child needs help if he wants to get proper nourishment, clothing and better attention. When we learn of his needs, we are happy to welcome him to our big family. Mohammad is his nickname. His health condition is average and he makes good progress. His hobby is playing toys. He will receive proper clothing and nutritious meals under your kind sponsorship, so that he can grow healthily.

Here's what's 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://langa.com/plus.htm )
Mulyo is the 12th child 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.
Graham Greene once said, "There is always a moment in childhood when the door
opens and lets the future in...." 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 Mulyo) make the most
of their very lives. Thanks for your help!
