My Nonprofit Reviews

Review for Cambodian Children's Fund, Santa Monica, CA, USA
I think the most amazing part of My story probably is the Changes this Great place has made in Me ! I want Everyone to know that I am 56 Years old Worked in Rock n Roll for Over 30 Years and been Overpaid the Entire Time ! This Business while being a Job that I would do for Free is also a Very Self-Indulgent and Ego Driven proposition !
Some 7 or 8 Years ago while at Home for a few Weeks I ran across the movie "Heaven and Earth" for Whatever reason it was a Lightning Bolt Moment , These Beautiful Kids know a Poverty that NONE of us know here in the US , The truth is , Many of these Families would think they died and went to Heaven just to live at a Dumpster Behind ANY Resturant here in L.A.!
For the next 5 Years I became a supporter of this Organization and pretty much followed and watched their Growth . It is startling to watch a Young Child with a Very Tited Eyes staring off into some other World that perhaps was a kinder place to Live , these children Expect Nothing they know No better . And I could also relate to Scott's Story ,
Finally in My seventh Year I Sponcered a Family , For much less that a Nice lunch with a Friend I can Give and Actually IMPROVE the Lives of a Family and while I do this I have a Counselor in Phnom Penh that really Knows what's going On ! I'm THAT Guy that would Send a Pallete full of Snickers Bars while forgetting the Need for Diapers ! I have ALWAYS believed that to be Successful You need to Surround Yourself with Very Capable People and the ENTIRE STAFF at CCF is Nothing Short of that .
So in short ... I am given the Pivledge of Giving to Some Families that not only Deserve it but HONESTLY Understand Your help and could not appreciate it More . Without throwing it in Your Face these Staff Members instill a Sense of Competance and True Concern for the families . A couple of bumper Sticker Quotes are coming Your way only because it is a FACT. !
:" I give to these Families but it is I that receives the Greater Gift ".
In Closing I need to Say that as I Mentioned. , I have worked with and Around Creative and Artistic People My Entire Life , I also Pride Myself in knowing that I can see BS coming down the Road before most See it , this is the real Deal . Scott Neesons Genius is a Mixture of Concern and Love tied in with a Creative twist that WORKS : ) Brilliant Leadershit and True Love and Dedication from the Staff make EVERYONE a Winner .
