Oak Grove School
Website: http://www.oakgroveschool.com
Donation page: https://bookstore.kfa.org/secure_giving/oak_grove_donation.html
The intent of the Oak Grove School is for students to develop the skills necessary to function in the modern world, and at the same time to develop a foundation for inquiry into perennial questions of human life.
Consistent with the views of its founder, J. Krishnamurti, the school does not subscribe to any creed or ideology. Rather, it assists students in the open-minded investigation of enduring human issues.
Krishnamurti said about the school, "The school is concerned with freedom and order. Freedom is not the expression of one's own desire, choice or self-interest. That inevitably leads to disorder. Freedom of choice is not freedom, though it may appear so; nor is order, conformity or imitation. Order can only come with the insight that to choose is itself the denial of freedom.
In school one learns the importance of relationship which is not based on attachment and possession. It is here one can learn about the movement of thought,
love and death, for all this is our life. From the ancient of times, man has sought something beyond the materialistic world, something immeasurable, something sacred. It is the intent of this school to inquire into this possibility.

Brockwood Park School
[UPDATE: I DO NOT RECOMMEND DONATING TO BROCKWOOD PARK SCHOOL OR KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION TRUST - OR KRISHNAMURTI FOUNDATION AMERICA -- these organizations are acting very contradictory to the teachings of their founder whom I personally knew -- see this article for info about KFT/Brockwood Park's mismanagement: https://sites.google.com/view/rezamusic/writings/on-j-krishnamurtis-work/KFT-Mismanagement
Website: http://www.brockwood.org.uk/
The young are inheriting a complex world. It is a world in which rapid technological progress goes hand-in-hand with environmental, social, economic, and political crises. Must the young take the world as it is, accepting an education that enables them to 'fit in' to society, or can they learn to question deeply what they see and respond creatively out of a sense of personal integrity that enables them to meet whatever life may bring?
At Brockwood Park School we are committed to educating young people to meet life as a whole. Academic excellence is absolutely necessary, but equal importance is given to an ongoing inquiry into the way we live our daily lives. Many of the difficulties in today's world are the outcome of attitudes and beliefs that education for our times needs to examine.
In the secure and friendly surroundings of Brockwood Park, students are encouraged to reflect on their own thoughts, feelings and actions and on those of others. Brockwood offers a setting where students and staff can learn to live and work together harmoniously and intelligently. This process is liberating, for with growth in awareness and understanding of our behaviour, we can discover the immense potential of life and our possibility of living it to the full.

Solar water disinfection - the SODIS method - is a simple procedure to disinfect drinking water. Contaminated water is filled in a transparent PET-bottle or glass bottle and exposed to the sun for 6 hours. During this time, the UV-radiation of the sun kills diarrhoea generating pathogens. The SODIS-method helps to prevent diarrhoea and thereby is saving lives of people. This is urgently necessary as still more than 4000 children die every day from the consequences of diarrhoea.

TEEN CANCER AMERICA
Dear REZA GANJAVI,
On behalf of Teen Cancer America, thank you for your generous gift. We sincerely appreciate your commitment to help us improve the lives of teens and young adults with cancer.
Fighting cancer is scary at any age, but battling it as a teen or young adult is even more daunting, given the unique emotional, physical and practical needs of this age group. Young people can get some of the most rare and aggressive forms of cancer. Their health and stamina can mask their illness for a longer time. Their rapidly changing bodies can work against them, enabling the cancer to grow faster. The emotional upheaval of adolescence can make a cancer diagnosis even harder to cope with.
Our primary goals are to improve the experience for teens and young adults with cancer, from diagnosis, to treatment and thereafter, not only focusing on their physical treatment, but their emotional and psychological health and well-being as well.
Teen Cancer America has exciting plans for the future. We will be sure to keep you informed as to how we are doing but hope you will also check in on us via our website at www.TeenCancerAmerica.org.

The Environment and Cancer Research Foundation
https://www.environmentandcancer.com/
The Environment and Cancer Research Foundation wants to promote scientific research on the association between the environment and cancer and other chronic diseases.
Several forms of cancer, chronic diseases such as diabetes, different neurological conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome and psychiatric diagnoses are increasing even at lower ages. Our environment with exposure to different environmental pollutants and to radiofrequency radiation may contribute considerably and be significant factors for illness. Of special concern are new environmental pollutants and the increasing exposure to radiofrequency radiation in the environment. Long-term health effects have not been studied.
To be able to prevent the increase in disease incidence and sick-leaves, research is needed about the impact of environmental pollutants and radiofrequency radiation on human health. We are all exposed in the society today.

Hi Scott
This is to confirm our conversation that
I was opted out of mailing list but I was not flagged to never receive anything (which is what I wanted) and was not opted out of not having my name and address traded with other organization (which is clearly what I wanted when I asked to be removed from your mailing list). You say you have people who are pissed at you. There is really good reason for it. Maybe it's time to review your publicity policies. What happened to me can not simply be a mistake.

Myon Burrell Fund
Hi. My heart goes out to Myon. I just donated, and shared the following message on 2 of the large groups I run on FB (10's of thousands of people). I'd love to do an interview with him when he is settled down... Best wishes. Reza Ganjavi 213 207 6535
Off topic. I just donated to Myon. He was falsely imprisoned for 20 years since he was 16 years old. Just one example of huge injustice against blacks. When being interrogated, he didn't ask for a lawyer, he asked for his mother! Another man already confessed to the crime but they still imprisoned Myon too.

Jay Boughton family fund
Nicholas Reed and Miranda Reed are organizing this fundraiser.
On Tuesday July 6th 2021 a senseless act took the life of a beloved husband, father, and member of the community. Jay was the kind of guy you wanted to be around. He was an active member of our baseball family and his love for the game and passion to help the players was second to none. Jay, you were loved by so many and will be deeply missed. As the Boughton family navigates the weeks to come, we hope this fund will help them focus on family and give them the time they need to heal.

Kairos Charity / Keith Critchlow Legacy
UK Charity
Thank You
Your contribution to Kairos Charity has been confirmed.
https://www.kairos-foundation.org.uk/
Working Premise
Kairos is a non-sectarian organisation which takes into consideration all the revealed traditions of mankind; it is founded on the principle of the Unity of Being. This means the intrinsic unity of the viewer and that which is viewed. Krishnamurti summed this up in his phrase "You are the world and the world is you".
Kairos is an educational charity specifically founded to promote the recovery of traditional (perennial) values in the Arts and Sciences. This has deep and complex implications, yet can be simplified into a view which is focused on the Unity of Being and the fundamental inter-relatedness of all things. For the ancient Greeks, the word 'mathema' originally meant 'study', so the four mathematical Arts/Sciences we know as the Quadrivium can be understood as uniting the nature of inner perception by which we 'study' and the nature of the source of our impressions of the outer world. Integrity being the first principle.
We are also working in collaboration with Keith Critchlow Legacy, a new venture currently based in London. This has emerged directly from Keith’s family wanting to share his personal work; library, artefact collection, artwork and writing that was in his garden studio. There are exclusive classes happening there as well; do check out the Keith Critchlow Legacy website.

Justice for Andrea and Draya Fleming
On Monday afternoon my life took a tragic turn when receiving a phone call for me to immediately rush to Wilton Manors. Two of my baby girls were struck in a Hit-and-run accident (Along with other minors)... Andrea Fleming (6 years old) was pronounced DOA and leaving Draya Fleming (9 years old) in critical condition. I'm in the worse condition ever as a mother and don't know how I'm going to prepare myself mentally to fight and keep a smile for the rest of my children. How am I going to plan a funeral while visiting my other daughter in the hospital who doesn't know her little sister has passed away... Please assist me in this very tough time of bereavement as I fight for justice... Mentally, physically and financially. #Justice4AndreaAndDraya

The Walden Woods Project
Started by Don Henley.
Your generous gift means so much to all of us at The Walden Woods Project. Our board of directors and staff are deeply grateful for your friendship and support. Most importantly, we thank you on behalf of thousands of people -- those who have walked in Thoreau’s footsteps through Walden Woods on land they know will be permanently protected from development; those who were inspired to become better stewards of our world by learning about Thoreau’s influence on contemporary social and environmental issues.
We are energized by emerging opportunities. Your contribution will enable The Walden Woods Project to further its mission by:
offering outdoor educational experiences for students and teachers that focus on urgent environmental and societal challenges;
strengthening our collaboration with the MA Department of Conservation and Recreation, which oversees the Walden Pond State Reservation;
expanding our virtual programming that has reached a global audience; engaging more people in presentations and discussions involving compelling issues of our time;
acquiring new collections about Thoreau and his contemporaries for our library, which serves as a premiere resource for research;
increasing production at our organic farm through our recent acquisition of an adjacent parcel of land.
We look forward to staying in touch with you through our quarterly newsletter. If you live locally or are planning a visit to Walden Woods, we hope you will enjoy the public trail systems/conservation land we steward or you will visit our organic farm. We also encourage you to participate in our virtual programs listed on our website at www.walden.org/education/stewardship_lectures/
With profound gratitude and warm wishes,
Kathi Anderson
Executive Director

Center for Countering Digital Hate
https://counterhate.com/
Dear Reza
Thank you for your kind donation.
Social media companies are enabling the spread of online hate and disinformation.
They deny the problem, deflect the blame, and delay taking responsibility.
CCDH holds them accountable and responsible for their business choices by highlighting their failures, educating the public, and advocating change from platforms and governments to protect our communities.
Together, we will continue to use our voices to demand change.
~~~
I donated to them after Elon Musk tried to bully them into not pursuing an important project about how Twitter has propagated hate speech under the vale of free speech -- and that's one reason I do not like Twitter and don't use it.
I sent CCDH a message of encouragement that I believe Musk is totally bluffing and encouraged them to keep up the good work.
