  1. Why the negativity? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why is most everyone here being negative toward this idea? They are talking about children here... and I for one think it's an excellent idea. Though I must point out that others are doing the same thing already with varying degrees of success.

    You guys should at least give them some credit for wanting to make a difference. By the looks of it so far, they won't get any development help...
