Dear Friends,

The FAQ page has been updated in an effort to more accurately answer your questions about who we are, what we do and why you should care. Finally, and most importantly, the new website is easier to navigate, and friendlier in terms of it’s presentation. All of us at the Magnalia Foundation hope you will visit the new website often and stay on the site, checking out what’s new, for a long time!
