On any given night in America, anywhere from 700,000 to 2 million people are homeless, according to estimates of the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty. Helping the homeless requires individuals like you to make a commitment to help those among us who are in the greatest need. Your monetary donation will go a long way to help feed homeless men and women in Northern Virginia. 100% of your donation (minus Paypal charges if any) is used to feeding the homeless as we are 100% volunteered based.

Vafa Animal Shelter
Submitted by desiree on Wed, 03/03/2010 - 13:50
VAFA Animal Shelter is the first animal shelter in Iran and is located in the town of Hashtgerd, about an hour and a half west/northwest of Tehran on the road to Ghazvin. It was put together with the hard work of Ms. Fatemeh Motamedi who has a deep love for animals of all shape and size and donated her land and organized the building of the shelter with her own funds. At present, the shelter is under the supervision of Ms. Lida Esna-Ashari and is run by a group of devoted volunteers and caring veterinarians who donate much of their services.
