I will pass on the information which you have passed on to us. I do however wonder if there is a group of Sisters or Brothers who deal with this matter directly. (i.e. A group of Sisters who take in, educate, and treat kids, or even past child soldiers) I know this is a lot to ask and may prove difficult to solve. I may try contacting a bishop or even the American Embassy to the Vatican to get more info. If I hear anything, I will surely share this information with you. Thank you so much, and I will let you know what we decide to do tonight. Jeff Ruthven Dear John,

Who can we send this money to to best DIRECTLY aid present and past child soldiers? I will be speaking on this subject to our council Monday evening. Together, I hope that we can ease their sufferings and help free today's child soldiers. <em>Jeffrey, Let me check first thing on Monday and see if CRS has a fund specifically for child soldiers. If we do, any donations received will be used for that purpose. John R. CRS Blog editor.</em> <em>Update: Jeffrey, I have not been able to locate a specific charity that deals only with child soldiers. CRS, however, does work with child solidiers in several countries, most prominently in Northern Uganda and Sierra Leone (as the post you commented on indicates). While we do not have an account specifically designated for child soldiers in Liberia, we do honor donor intent. If you designate funds for Sierra Leone, they will ultimately benefit child soldiers, as well as other programs that assist and give hope to our brothers and sisters.</em> I am trying to organize a Knights of Columbus fundraiser for Child Soldiers.

Update:
Jeffrey,
