establish your own charitable foundation, what would it be?
Who would it serve?

I agree about children, they're our future.

Definitely something concerning animals, preferably turtles, my faves. Something similar to Sea turtle protection international or Turtles hospital. Helping the injured ones, collecting and protecting eggs et c.

A rescue center for mistreated/abandoned animals would also be great.

I'd like to start one called "back home". Where people can link to a family in another country who could use regular help (household gifts, money, education materials) and sort of "adopt" that family, and send them things.

A fun fantasy of mine.
