Bravo on a wonderful charitable donation. Your example is inspiring, showing what we all could do if we put our minds to it. Keep up the good work.

Great. PS. Your blog rss feed seems to be broken. I haven’t seen an update from the feed since 20th Aug 2008 (Podcast 30 – Horarios).

Ben and Marina
I am an ex South African patriot living in Toronto. I lived near the border of Zimbabwe in a Town called Pietersburg . I also was in the military there and had to go and out of Zims during the Bush war. It is high time that the world really understands the metality of these brutal dictators in Africa like Mugabe. Unfortunatly , even though it is great that we can make these donations , Africa always seems to go back to being Africa. I so miss it and have so much pain for my ex countrymen. I have been learning Spanish now for about 18 months and simply love your site. Thanks for taking the time to care for others it is” Muy Trieste” that here we are in this technologically advanced world and there are still others less fortunate who don’t have any food to eat this Christmas.

Thank you all for your great comments. We are so lucky with what we do, so this is the least we can do.

Ben and Marina,

I really enjoy your website/podcasts/videos/learning materials, but this is just icing on the cake (!). I’m so proud of the work you’ve done with your site to make such a generous contribution to Unicef; it’s an honor to be connected, even in such a small way, with others on this planet who are working to make a difference however they know now. !Que estupendo! Happy holidays, congrats on your new little one, and looking forward to more from Notes in Spanish in ’09. Besos, Jenny

I am an ex-Zimbabwean learning Spanish with Ben and Marina. I lived there for the first 18 years of my life and am now a world citizen living in Bangkok, Thailand. You could not have chosen a more deserving cause. The situation in Zimbabwe is far graver than any of us realize and I thank you all for giving so generously. Peace and love, SAL

Thanks so much for setting a good example!
I did something similar which each child born to me – I took on foster kids through World Vision – and still give to other charities.
It has been said: “The more you give, the more you will have.”
I can vouch for that!
