[/quote] Flavailicious, Having adopted a child myself, I neither want to be a kill joy nor cynical but I wonder about this. In principle it is a great thing to do but these activities are normally linked into sponsorship and endorsements and a wider agenda etc. As long as he is present, if he has thus far fathered any children, then kudos to him as that is where it starts... with your own. Many people do these things, on a large sustained scale, quietly without the press being there. However one has to start somewhere! Re: Dwayne Bravo : Thanks ! - Robblogs - 10-09-2013 It's always good to give back when you're more fortunate. I'd be doing the same thing. Good thing for Bravo to be doing. Re: Dwayne Bravo : Thanks ! - Mail - 10-09-2013 What has he actually done? From the information he visited a orphanage! Has he given something, made a donation, become a patron to raise funds... what has he done people? Re: Dwayne Bravo : Thanks ! - ketchim - 10-09-2013 He would nort tweet or facebook that ! " visited to give something back " when I visit , stop at the local market buy a truckload of Fruits ,Pastries , milk and juices ! Feed them and watch them eat  and leave a cheque with the Caretaker !

I know most times these things are done for publicity. However, I do hope there was at least a tiny bit of sincerity behind that move.
