If TF makes a lot of money through the FCF, then strangling the money flow might be important towards legal battles.

Someone should find all of FCF's affiliated programs, and barrage their partners about the FCF's affiliation with TF. Send em news clips, along with previous court verdicts etc. Amazing that the FCF is listed in the CRIN directory, one place it simply does not belong. I'm sure CRIN does not want people to think they are affiliated with FCF, a front for the TF, a known child abusing cult.

Hmm if you look in the news section Tim Peters is variously refered to as "Tim Peters, director of Helping Hands Korea" and "Tim Peters, Seoul-based FCF Project Manager". This elasticity of job role is characteristic of TF and makes me instantly suspicious.

FCF does have a few projects that are run by non-Family people. This is partly for PR, to diffuse the accusations that FCF exists solely to serve the interests of TF. These outsiders probably don't know the truth about TF.

Perhaps this is one of those projects.

For what is worth it sound like this could be a Familly operation run by a sister named Sarah ,System name could be Macdonald used to be married with a certain Paul that might have left the fam.afew years back

There was also an other operation close to the Ghana in Benin next city further south ex french colony run by a french guy named Steven Martyr actually he went to testify against some of the teens during the England court case .This guy also left the Fam some years ago.

It sounds like Fam operation

The part about drama presentations sounds eerily familiar. The focus on child rights hints at the Family as well. Being a largely reactionary organization one could predict that since they are being widely accused of violating the rights of their own offspring they would turn around and advocate for the rights of dying children in Africa for PR purposes.

Agreed. However, the name "Family Care Foundation" is not frightfully original or creative, so there could easily be another group that decided to choose this name for themselves.(reply to this comment)
