About two years ago I had the good fortune to meet up with Blair Williams the charismatic founder of CTR or the Calcutta Tiljallah Relief Fund. This fund currently relies on donations from friends and well wishers to fund its projects. In addition, fund raising events are also organized.
CTR also publishes books which are privately funded and whose sales proceeds go to the charity.

I have since been invited to join the organisation as a member on the board, and I'm happy to say I have felt completely satisfied practicing charity in a practical effective way.
CTR is celebrating it's 10th Anniversary year with volunteers spread across the world in Australia, Canada, United Kingdom and the USA for projects that primarily fund children's education and pensions for Seniors.
Some of the titles published by CTR:
