The Foundation for Social Assistance

Corina Ling-Raleigh announces the incorporation of the Foundation for Social Assistance on Regina. Ling-Raleigh stated that the Foundation is merely an extension of charitable works which she has been engaged in previously, particularly since the catastrophic meteor strike on Regina. She stated that her recent brush with death has brought a new sense of how transitory life can be. "I can't pass up the chance to make a positive change in the people's lives. Too often government bureaucrats think in terms of programs. But the great ideas have simple names, like better bread, better housing, better food, and a better life. I want to do what I can to make those things happen for real people." The Statutes of Incorporation list the following objectives:

• to provide with monetary assistance, or in kind, furnish with working tools, give scholarships to any person who lacks the resources and requests them, and who, in the founders' judgment, deserves them;
  
  
• to build houses for indigent families;
  
  
• to create and/or build educational establishments, hospitals, homes and/or any other establishments that may best serve the goals of the Foundation;
  
  
• to construct welfare establishments of any kind which can then be given with or without charge, to local, provincial or planetary authorities;
  
  
• to contribute or collaborate by any possible means to the creation of works tending to satisfy the basic needs for a better life of the less privileged classes;
  
  
• to establish vocational training and apprenticeship programs in various trades to which appointments may be made by the founder. These positions will be awarded as scholarships paying for both training and subsistence.

Any persons wishing to make application to the Foundation should go to the Foundation office on Regina Up Port, Level 3, between the hours of 10 a.m. and Noon, Monday through Friday.

The Foundation has announced it's first charitable grant of $50,000 cr and a furnished clinic office building on Regina Down Port, near the former Refugee areas, to Regina's "Doctors without Borders", administered by Anders Jorgenson.
