Ok here it is. I have a friend named Greg James who has a heart of gold. He spends a lot of time traveling as a professional photographer. He shoots celebrities like J-Lo for example on a regular basis. A few years back, he took a trip to Southeast Asia and fell in love with the country. He was disturbed though. He noticed crippling poverty and a high number of orphans that have no money, food, or much of anything. That’s when Greg decided that he wanted to make a difference.
As a comedian/actor I get to travel to a lot of amazing places and I can tell you that I personally have been to Cambodia and seen exactly what Greg was talking about when he said that there were people there that needed help. Our poverty in the United States is a cakewalk compared to the poverty there. They do need help.
So here is your chance to make a real difference. Greg is spending December in Cambodia and he has raised enough money to buy clothes and toys for a huge number of these kids this holiday season. Greg James is taking donations large and small and he will send you something cool back. You have my word that Greg James will spend every penny on the kids and he’s even in the middle of helping to open a school over there to teach these kids English. English is a one way ticket out of poverty to a youth in Cambodia. Any donation makes a huge difference because the dollar is strong in Cambodia and you can rest easy knowing that you did a good deed.

Please help if you can. He’s a good dude doing a good deed.
Jason, just to caution you and Greg, you really do have to be careful,as you nay end up doing more harm than good – far better to work with one of the NGOs that knows the country, speaks the language, and more importantly knows the facts on the ground. That way your good intentions and money will provide real benefits. You do not say which location. Start with “Friends” mithsamlanh.org) working working in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap? They will refer you to other credible NGOs if elsewhere.
Hey! Thanks for taking the time to write me! Greg is on the ground in Cambodia as we speak. He will be buying and PERSONALLY delivering to the orphanages. He is well liked in the community there and we have done these kinds of things in the past. There is no middleman. It’s not an organization. It’s just a guy helping out.
