EzineArticles Rejects Charity Articles

I recently wrote an article about a non-profit organization called Smile Train. You may have read this article. I hope so.

The article directory, EzineArticles.com received the exact same article and they rejected it. Why? It did not meet their policy. Their policy being that the author cannot sell a product in the article body. Well, I rewrote the article and resubmitted it to them.

Still, the same message. They would not publish because they said I was promoting a product in the article body. How is that?

If you are reading this, I hope you have already read my article about Smile Train. They are a wonderful organization. All I was saying in the article was that they do great work. I gave their website address in my resourse box as I am supposed to do. What is wrong with that? Does EzineArticles not see that? Do they not want to help people? Help children? I don’t get it. Have a heart people.

The Smile Train funds surgeries for children born with cleft in 75 countries. These surgeries are free. All of the doctors are volunteers. How could anyone not do just a little to help that effort?

I can write an article saying that Jesus Christ never existed and have it accepted but I write one article about an organization like Smile Train and they send me a rejection notice. I do not and will never understand that way of thinking.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not a religious freak. I’m an agnostic. I actually did write the article about religion. But you don’t have to be a believer to care about people. And Smile Train does care. I’m sure they don’t share my religious beliefs but they do share my belief that children deserve a happy life. And they do so much every day to make sure each child they help has a chance at a happy life. Is that too much to ask?

Please, visit their websit and watch the trailer video. I always considered myself one cold hearted SOB. And then I watched this. There was nothing else I could do but try to help. I hope you will do the same.
