Instead, this year they got toothbrushes.

I do have to say, I once got the best address labels ever; they said “The Julie Family”. I think Shawn threw them out.

I completely agree. Im so glad your comment is saved here should anyone be researching SHI and find this post. I am so happy to be a supporter of your charity and even more grateful to you guys for actually doing the hard work. I hope to one day be involved in some field work or help in some way.

These do not include stickers, calendars, teddy beard or anything other than a sheet or two of recycled paper. We also try to send our supports one email update per month (though it is always less) to update them on our progress. We always honor requests to not receive any or all of these mailings. We have never sold anyone’s contact info. I know some organizations do these things, but please don’t accuse us if you don’t know about our practices. While it is best to be well informed and support charities carefully, it is better to err on the side of being positive rather than negative. That way charities such as ours will not unfairly be judged and prevented from helping more families feed themselves and protect the world’s forests.

It gives the whole industry such a bad rep, and for the few good guys out there, they lose out on crucial funding that they planned to spend wisely :@(
