We’re still uncertain as to the status of the Amazon-Africa charity; while they are still listed on the Charity.com database (http://www.charity.com/charities/charity_listings/1219.shtml), we cannot confirm that their charitable work currently continues.

However, for those interested, we’ve rounded up some of the associated organizations’ websites for those who wish to follow Amazon-Africa’s lead. Once our home mortgage refinancing process is completed, we hope to return with more helpful info.

(all quotes from the respective websites)

• Pastoral do Menor http://www.pastoraldomenor.org — to “promote and defend the lives of at risk children and adolescents, and encourage society to embrace this cause.” A faith-based regional charity.

• Fundação Esperança http://theaccommodation.wordpress.com/fundacao-esperanca/ — “provides low cost health services and education to the Santarém community”. The blog linked here has numerous especially- relevant resources.

• Amizade Global Service-Learnin http://amizade.org/ — “From working with women and girls on rainwater harvesting initiatives in rural Tanzania to running at-risk youth camps in Jamaica, Amizade volunteers have transformed and been transformed.”
