EDITORIAL, Mar 1 (VNN) I am dismayed at the news of the Child Protection Office closing. It is NOT because their work is done or is now unimportant. Followers of Srila Prabhupada worldwide need to donate money immediately to keep the office going. Beyond this temporary measure, please contact your local GBC officer and local temple administration, and emphasize to them the importance of keeping their financial obligations to the CPO to provide for its existence into the future.
The CPO is out of money not because of the lack of pledges from our society's leadership, but because of the lack meeting those promises. If promises and good intentions were money, they'd be well funded.
Anyone can make a donation the CPO right now by going to their website, www.APVC.org. The website content is out of date, but is still able to receive donations. The PayPal donation address is paypal@apvc.org. (If you can offer assistance on website programming and/or updating, please contact webmaster@apvc.org)
