Charity social network site with evaluations, feedback on screenshots?

charimo.org
helpalot.org

If you don't know the project, here's a quick summary:

Taking inspiration from the openness of Wikipedia and adding social network aspects, I’m going to build a website that has the potential to be a chartiy guide, that not only contains every charity in the world, but also is the home of an energetic community that will change the world for the better.
