As mentioned in
several other sections, Pascal MONMOINE had decided,
from the time he started this Website, that he wanted to also use our group of
Traders and our
Website to try MAKE
A DIFFERENCE in our World...
We are certainly aware of how "small"
we are as a group (compared to people like Bill Gates giving away billions of
dollars every few months!) but to each human being who will benefit from our
donations
and
support, we will
certainly never feel "small".
We simply cannot selfishly enjoy
our privileged lives without helping and caring for those less fortunate than we
are. And by "privileged" we certainly don't mean driving fancy
cars or leaving in mansions, we mean the simple and basic "luxury" of
having a roof over our
head, food on the table every day for our families and clean bed sheets to sleep in
every night.
So many
"luxuries" which we wrongfully classify as "basics" and which
we take way too often for granted.
"STARTING
SOMEWHERE and
DOING SOMETHING" is all that really counts, whether
it is for us as a
business, or for you as an individual. So much is needed, whether it is in
our own hometown or all over the World. The choice always rests in our own
hands...
We
often get carried away in our "busy" lives and tend to forget what those
"basics" really are and how much we should appreciate them every day
... And most importantly, we also forget than many of our fellow human beings,
some of them living just a few miles away from us, do NOT have any of those
"basics" which, to them, are most definitely considered as
"luxuries".
So, for
starters, Pascal MONMOINE has pledged that at least 3% of
all net income
generated by this website will be DONATED to VARIOUS CHARITIES
(especially those for sick and poor children).
With our
"Let's
Share..."
program, whenever
you do purchase something from our website (whether it is our Start Up COURSE, your attendance fee to
one of our SEMINARS or anything else) or from any of our associates, you know that you will ALREADY be participating in our
program and starting "to do some good...". We also strongly encourage you to support directly any of
the Charities listed below (we provided all contact information for each of
them).
Much is always needed. Thank you
so much in advance!
To start with, here are some of the charities and organizations which
our donations (money and/or material donations) are currently supporting:
No
need to introduce this great organization either...
Their main goal is to grant the wishes of children with terminal or
life-threatening illnesses.
Here is one of the thousands
of Make A Wish stories which bring tears to my eyes from just typing it on
this page... Life can really seem sometimes so incredibly
"unfair" but this is just the way it is I guess...
"It
seems like only yesterday, but it has been nearly 20 years. My son Chris
was only 7 years old and all his life he had dreamed of being a police
officer. Chris' dream was the biggest thing in the world to him, but even
he couldn't have known that this wish would serve as the inspiration for
the largest wish-granting organization in the world.
Many children have plenty of time to
realize their dreams as they grow up. But Chris didn't have the luxury of
time—he had Leukemia and his prognosis wasn't good. But Chris had a
special quality that captivated those around him. And one of our dear
friends was so taken by my son's interest in police officers, that he
wanted to ensure that this little boy received his wish.
I'll never forget that special
day—April 29, 1980—when Chris' wish was granted. A police helicopter
flew us over the Phoenix area, landing at the Department of Public Safety
(DPS), where three squad cars and a motorcycle awaited our arrival. Chris,
with his blue eyes dazzling, was sworn in as an honorary patrolman. Later
in the day, Chris and the Director of DPS took some time out of their
hectic police schedule to share a pack of bubble gum together. From then
on, Chris was known to his fellow officers as the "Bubble Gum
Trooper."
The company responsible for making the
highway patrol uniforms was so moved by the media coverage of Chris' wish,
that they decided to get involved in adding to the wish experience. The
owner and two seamstresses worked all night to custom-tailor a highway
patrolman uniform for Chris. On May 1st, several officers who had met
Chris a few days before, showed up at the house and presented him with his
official police uniform.
I had bought a battery-operated
motorcycle for Chris to take the place of his wheelchair. Chris really
liked the motorcycle wings worn by one of the officers and asked how he
could get one. The officers said that Chris needed to pass a motorcycle
proficiency test before the wings could be presented to him. So the
officers set up a motorcycle course in our driveway so Chris could take
his test. He passed with flying colors.
On May 2nd, Chris was back in the
hospital. He was so proud and happy about being a patrolman that he asked
that his uniform be hung up in the window of his room and his motorcycle
helmet and "Smokey the Bear" hat be placed on his dresser so he
could see them. One of the officers showed up at the hospital and
presented Chris with his new motorcycle wings, which had been created
especially for Chris by a local jeweler.
On May 3rd, Chris passed away. As the
first-ever and only honorary state trooper in Arizona history, Chris was
given a police funeral with full honors by his fellow patrolmen.
It brings tears of joy to my eyes to
know that this wonderful time in my son's life was the inspiration for the
organization that has granted more than 73,000 wishes to courageous
children like Chris around the world.
Sincerely,
Linda
(Chris' mom)"

On
a
very
special
month
of
December, Pascal was
once again
looking for more
and better ways
to bring
"sparks of
joy" to
those dear to
his heart ... the
always
innocent
children of our
World.
Writing checks
to Charity
programs is one
thing but we all
know that,
unfortunately,
some of the
money that we
give is
"consumed/wasted"
in
administrative
costs and
expenses
(sometimes
justified... and
sometimes not!)
and it is
usually
impossible to
keep any control
on how our
donations are
really spent...
Also, supporting
great causes and
giving money to
help and save
children in
Africa or South
America is
something very
important and
certainly needed
but we tend to
forget that
quite often, other
forms of misery
and many
terrible
tragedies take
place just a few
MILES from where
we live our
privileged
lives... right
in our hometown.
So,
under our "TOYS
R YOURS™"
program, Pascal
decided that he
wanted to also
help those
living in his
hometown of
Durham and he
sincerely hopes
that PM Traders'
Members will
also start
similar programs
in their own
hometown,
whichever state
or country they
live in...
After contacting
his local Police
Department
(contacting the
Police
Department of
the city where
you live is
certainly a
great way to get
started...) he
met with a great
man, Sergeant
Mike MONTGOMERY
who was in
charge, for the
city
of
Durham, of the Youth
Investigations
Department.
This Department
covers a wide
range of cases,
all the way from
sexually abused
and battered
babies and
children to
troubled
teenagers.
For Pascal and
PM Traders, the
common point of
all those
children is that
they are ALWAYS
INNOCENT and
that they NEED
OUR HELP and
ANYTHING and
EVERYTHING that
we can do to
help them SHOULD
and MUST be
done...
So,
to get things
started, on that
very
special
December, Pascal
went with his
two
children to a
local "Toys R Us"
store and filled
up 2 full carts of toys in order
to deliver them
to the Durham
Police
Department which
then distributed
them to selected
families and
children as Christmas
presents...
That very
simple idea is
what this is
really all
about... Giving,
caring and
sharing.
Bringing
"sparks of
joy" in the
lives of those
who need it the
most...
It is never
about
"judging"
the
"WHY"
and
"HOW"
such terrible
tragedies can
happen ... it is
only about
GIVING, CARING
and HELPING
those who need
it so badly.
"La
Crèche de Bethlehem"...
(The Nativity Scene/ORPHANAGE of Bethlehem)
A small French non profit organization which supports a great cause in Bethlehem
- Palestine.
The French
support chapter of that organization was started by Arlette LOFFICIER who was
actually working for the Engineering school which Pascal attended for 3 years
(but did not graduate from... ;-) ))while he was still
living in France. She is a great lady with lots of energy which she
is now focusing on helping those in need...
When the non profit group called "Les Filles de la
Charité de Saint-Vincent de Paul" arrived in Bethlehem in 1885, many
young desperate mothers started to abandon "non desired" babies and children in
front of their little house. The nuns finding those babies could
not, of course, let them die right there so they started to actually welcome them
and try to raise them.
This is how this little group originally
started and has since kept growing, despite all the politic craziness of
this highly sensitive area.
A few of the babies rescued by the
orphanage...
This cause is
supported by individuals and corporations from all over the World, independently
of their race, citizenship or religion.
This "CRÈCHE/ ORPHANAGE" is still, to this day, the only place which will accept and
take care of, without any "judgment" of any kind, any abandoned baby or
children and for this, we really need to support them.
They also
provide some free day care for the children of working parents who would,
otherwise, have no choice but to leave those children alone at home as their
poverty does not let them afford any kind of day care.
The sadness and despair of abandoned
children and babies should of course never be judged in any
way... it should only be supported as much as we can as their innocence is
our responsibility. The organization is
currently taking care of over 90 children (aged from a few hours up to 6
years old).
Please click on their Website
to learn more about them (for now, the Website is only in French but this
will be a great reason to browse up on your high school French, right
?...).
You can
help to feed the hungry in a very simple way...
Simply go to this site once a day to feed a hungry person. It costs you
nothing and the food is paid for by the sponsors of the website.
Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger ... and 3/4 of those
deaths are children under 5!!!!

DURHAM, NC 27702
GENESIS HOME's
main mission is
to provide a
"home/shelter"
for people
and families in
need as long as
they have
CHILDREN
involved (they
will not support
couples or
individual
without any
children). GENESIS
HOME can
care for up to
12 families,
providing them
with help,
support and decent
lodging.
They can be
single parents
with children,
battered women
with children in
need of shelter,
families with
children but no
place to go etc.
What do they
need? (and what
YOU can donate
to help them
even more): toys
for all the
children, crafts
supplies for the
children,
clothing etc...
anything and
everything to
help make their
lives a little
bit better and
to show them
that other
people do care
about them.

which we named
"TOYS R

worth of TOYS bring some
sparks and
moments of
happiness to
those children
as well as to
bring them many
toys for
Christmas...
We
will also do our
best to provide
continuous
support to them
by bringing them
more toys and
supplies
thorough the
year
and
hopefully
for
many
more
years
to
come...
"BABY
LOVE"...
Contact: (919)
560-7600 (phone)
A
program local to the RDU area in North Carolina which collects clothing
and toys for babies and children in need, as well as for their single
mothers.
Please give them all that you can... the children which they provide for
desperately need
everything we can give them (and they need it so much more than our neighbors or family
members to whom we often, by habit, give our children's clothing and toys,
eventhough they can afford to buy their own)...
Pascal has been giving to "BABY
LOVE" almost every toy and
clothing that his children have outgrown over the years...
We hope to be able to
support other charitable organizations as PM Traders will grow (and, most
importantly, as the size of our donations will grow as well).
If there is any particularly worthy cause which you would like to
bring to our attention, please feel free to contact us...
Let's never forget how
lucky we really are to live such privileged lives ... and let's always make
sure that we never forget those who are less fortunate by sharing as much as we can
with them.
Let's share ... our
"luck" and our love and let's never miss an opportunity to help
those in need.
