New front group pretends to be operating a charity in Kenya !!Wear Proxy Condom!!

I need help disecting some information. This is long but worth the read.

Tonight I found this website:

Help for Orphans International - AboutUs

I thought it was a Scientology front group so I posted it on xenu.net asking if anyone knew any of the names on the board of directors.

Sarah Ehrlich Founder / President
Lissa Hilsee Executive Director
David Ehrlich Treasurer

Jill Zarin
Helen Gifford
Larry Roseman
Peaches Pook
MarySue Connolly
Timothy Murphy

I continued to look around and found that Sarah Ehrlich list Scientology as her religion and the youtube account for helpfororphans.org list several Youth for Human rights videos in the favorites.

MySpace.com - SarahEhrlich.com - 31 - Female - New York, New York - www.myspace.com/sarahehrlich

YouTube - helpfororphans's Channel

Then things got more interesting. I found the following message in a yahoo groups/global villages:

Yahoo! Groups

"THE International donor community dealing with Aids Orphans in Africa
and beyond is hereby alerted by the Board of Trustees and Board of
Governors ,Project founder and Directors of Kisumu Children Centre
and School ,P.o. Box 19630-40123,kisumu City ,Kenya ,caring and
educating Aids Orphans that HELP FOR ORPHANS
INTERNATIONAL ,based in New York,USA ,www.helpfororphans.org
has no links with us.It is very important to note that Help for Orphans
International School kisumu does not exist on the ground and it is
totally unknown in kenya.The only real project known internationally
dealing with Aids orphans is KISUMU CHILDREN CENTRE AND
SCHOOL founded by Mr Charles Aboge, a veteran Journalist educated
through charity in his early childhood.The Government of Kenya is fully
behind the School operations as it is legally registered and Government
donated prime land for its expansion as it is run on charity.Be warned
that any continued donor assistance to Help for Orphans International
claiming in their web site is totally wrong and not real as the funds do
not reach the intended purposes which are orphans.
Our School photographs taken by them during a recent visit and posted
in their web site should be removed and totally ignored by donor
community .We shall not condone any further taking of children
photographs by foreigners posing as "donors with many fake schools
which are unregistered schools and trying to introduce a new education
syllabus in Kenya secretly without the Government knowledge and
approval in Parliament .We welcome genuine donors to contact us
directly by e-mail charles_aboge@... or kisumuchild
@yahoo.com. We also need fundraisers on 20 per cent commission
even a visit by those who have funded them to check the truth and see
and demand to see the alleged children being funded through HELP
FOR ORPHANS INTERNATIONAL.
We shall soon seek help from USA and Kenya Governments to expose
the suspected fraudsters or alleged famous "lords of abject poverty in
Africa'. Call +254-0735-195-156 -Director of the Project"

Edit:

I edited out the additonal mp3 links because the general concensus was that it was spam. To quote anonhuff's words "random sentences probably pulled from various sites around the internet, interspersed with the track/album name to generate more traffic to the page is all. Reads like spam mail. "

I thought it would be less confusing to go ahead and remove them.

This was added to my post on xenu.net:

Holy crap, what a pack of scum!

I wonder if the people who designed their webpage (linked at the bottom) know who they are getting involved with...

Would you please add in the link to the yahoo groups comment? Tks

Sorry. Lack of sleep.

Here's the link. I'll edit the first post too.

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/global...s/message/3002

Anyone have any thoughts on the strange mp3 links?

It seems appropriate that a group who's aim is to recruit people into scientology are "lords of abject poverty in Africa'

Jokes aside, what fucking scumbags.

Thanks Anonhuff. I'm a bit older than the average anon and I had no idea what I was looking at. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ugh - I didn't think it was possible for me to find CoS any more reprehensible. Beyond words...

Filed in 2007. No 990 forms available for them yet.

This is probably press release worthy, especially to the aid and development community.

I'm going to re-title the thread and hopefully draw in some govt. types who might be keen on letting folks know.

These messages are cryptic indeed - it reminds of of those that inspired my nick :D

My first impression is that
1. Help for orphans lied, claiming to have helped these guys while only taking pics
2. The cryptic comments were automatically generated from content from other sources

I will give some google time to this.

Oops, slow typer is slow.

Is it just me or do the " Cryptic Messages" try to look like forum posts? They are trying to uprank their SEO ratings maybe so that It will look like EVERYONE says that their group is legitimate?

Also. If it hasn't been said yet... THIS IS WHY.

Hai Gaiz.

Wez a Irl religion rly. We make you think your money iz goin to teh aidz kidz but Really it juss goes in our pukkitz!

Here's a bit of info that I dug up. "Help for Orphans" does not show up on the business registers of the states of California, New York or New Jersey.

Our current work is focused predominantly in Kenya, working with schools that cater to orphaned and vulnerable children. We are building new facilities as well as renovating existing facilities.

In Kisumu, Kenya we refurbished a school and supplied the children and teachers with hundreds of books and learning materials. We also upgraded the school bathroom, providing the children and teachers with running water for the first time.

In a village located approximately twenty minutes outside of Kisii Town, Kenya, we are building a ten-room schoolhouse. We have provided considerable teaching materials for this facility, and we are donating funds on a monthly basis to pay for on-going expenses.

In Mbita, Kenya we are building another Help for Orphans International School. We are expecting to have this school as well as the Kisii school completed by January 2008.

We have provided each of these orphanage schools with a systematic reading and study skills program. The Help for Orphans International School in Kisii, Kenya was recently ranked #4 out of 270 schools for academic achievement.

In order to create sustainability for this effective education model, we delivered a highly successful teacher training and plan to expand this offering across the country.

In response to the tremendous demand for our help, we have launched The Happiness Contest, which gives us the chance to provide immediate help to orphanages that we have not yet been able to visit.
