A Year's Worth Of Updates on Reyna
Remember Reyna, a teen girl who lives in Guatemala? Some time ago, she
became one of the dozen kids supported on an ongoing basis--- each and every month--- through the
LangaList Plus subscription fund.
Her introductory info is here:

With a dozen kids being supported by the Plus! subscriptions, I thought it
would be easier to keep track of what's happening with each kid by focusing on
one per month; gathering all the correspondence from the previous 12 months and
presenting it all at once, rather than dribbling it out in the scattershot and
irregular fashion in which the mail arrives.
The latest batch for Reyna includes some crayon drawings and handwritten notes.

What's this all about? Very simply this: 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 )
Reyna is one of 12 kids sponsored on an ongoing basis (via an international
relief agency) by the collective generosity of LangaList Plus! subscribers;
Plus! subscribers also have collectively contributed to emergency earthquake
relief efforts in India and to funds to assist those hurt in the Sept 11th
terrorist attacks on 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 with expanded content and no advertising--- but you also can help those
less fortunate (like Reyna) make the most of their very lives. Thanks for your
help!
