In December there was a thread at ProZ: somebody had seen a report on sick orphans in one Russian hospital, kids were drawing and writing something, so the person seeing kids on TV got an idea to do some charities for them, like, hm, translate their works, sell the books of translations (hope the kids are still alive when this dream comes true) and give the kids the money received for books. There were no shorter way to give money to those in need. However I decided to participate in that charity project, in March or April this year - "kids were still alive" - I filled in their questionnary. A few days ago I've got a message that the charity project has created a slogan&mission statement (so indistinct, that not every translator can create the same indistinct text in a target language), found a sponsor for a domain and ask for a... membership fee.
