The Human Fund is the non-profit organization that we have started in order to take donations and use them directly for the plan outlined previously. The name is borrowed from an episode of the greatest T.V. show of all time, Seinfeld. The episode is hilarious, but I assure you, we are quite serious about this cause.

When you donate to The Human Fund, the money goes directly into an account. My partners and I don't take any money for administrative costs, at least for now, so 100% of your donation goes directly to help. From Sumatra I will contact my partners, and tell them exactly what supplies are necessary to further the cause. Mainly, the money will pay for the wood, and shipping costs. We will post our financial needs as they come up. If the people need clothes, we'll buy clothes. If we need fishing nets, we'll buy fishing nets, and so on. Every penny will be accounted for, and published. At some point we might need to spend some on food for my men and I, or on administrative costs. If so, it will be posted, so that you know exactly what's going on at all times.

I will be posting pictures of the local people, and the work that's being done, as well as an online journal as often as possible. Pretty much every time I'm able to go to port, I will post something new from the journey.

Since The Human Fund and nobody have been created to reach the same goal, we have a system of exclusive gifts for your donations. It is as follows:

$100 - $500 - nobody LIKES ME T-shirt

$500 - $1000 - nobody WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND T-shirt

$1000 - $5000 - nobody LISTENS TO ME T-shirt

$5000+ - nobody KNOWS MY NAME T-shirt

These shirts will not be available for purchase. They are exclusive to this simple donation system.

So, what's the best nation in the world? Before all of this happened, my answer would have been an enthusiastic, "Uri-Nation". But now, you guessed it, it is in fact Do-Nation. So please give in any way you can. If you can give $1, or $5, then please do. If you don't want to donate, then you can go to the nobody portion of this site to find out how you can buy a really really cool T-shirt that will help the cause.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please tell pretty much everyone you can think of about us. We don't have the money for advertising, so we are depending on word of mouth to drive this thing.
