What is the purpose of this site? Who are we?

The purpose of this site is to collect enough money to constitute an association (a humanitarian foundation) to help mainly the orphan children in the world as well as to help, within our means, all others who suffer in misery. We plan to intervene mainly in Asia, but we will also work in Africa and South America.

This organization has already a name. Its name is Stop All Misery (SAM), and its website www.stopallmisery.com (a prototype under construction for now).
SAM will function project by project.
There will be a central website of SAM that you will be able to consult and will be like a “dashboard” of all the projects in the following main areas:

• Sponsorship of the children to support their education, including food and lodging of as many children as possible;
• Emergency assistance (in the event of a catastrophe like, for example, a tsunami, an earthquake, or a hurricane / typhoon, etc.)
• Other humanitarian projects as suggested, identified and accepted.

SAM will have no ties with any particular country, political party, or religious organization. Any person, in the world, can submit a proposal for a project to SAM. Then, if the project is feasible, we will create an exclusive website for this project. There will be as many websites as there are projects. These sites will be fully accessible to everyone.

On each project site, we will identify ALL the elements of the project (project description, its principals / people involved, picture galleries, financing, etc.). In addition to being informative for the general public, the website will be actually a working site for the project (Forum, Mails). It will be a vehicle for exchanging ideas, follow-up on progress, document usage of the donations, support for project accounting and reporting, etc.

Sometimes it is just enough to put together experts in a field to help others. Volunteer experts can tell us if such or such project is feasible and to evaluate its cost and timeline.
Some other times it will be necessary to invest money to carry out these projects.
In all cases we will always develop and support projects that actively involve local population (i.e. the applicants).
We believe that a help is appreciated only if it is actually understood and implemented, by those who have need for it (“do not give a person a fish, but to teach them how to fish”).

To carry out all that, one needs time, determination and also, of course, money.

My name is Denis Luglia and I decided to spend the rest of my life working on this enterprise. Other friends in the world (in the United States, in China, in Indonesia, in Thailand and in Vietnam) support me and are already helping me in this endeavor. The money of the donations will be also used to pay me and all the material necessary to run this organization (lease of a server and development PC, implementation of paid or voluntary teams in various countries, etc.)
