Casa Jimmy is a safe house that has to date supported more than 300 children. Casa Jimmy is just one of two-dozen causes that your donations will help support. See below for other projects Action for Brazil's Children (ABC) has associated themselves with. Gibson Guitars, Baglioni (Italian luxury hotel chain), Samsung, Sir Richard Branson and Virgin Group, and Selfridges (UK department store chain), are some of their corporate sponsors.

Yet Samsung's business practices are just as bad, if not worse than Apple's.

Wonder why he didn't downgrade Samsung...? I think this is less about calling out Apple's morals and more about doing someone a favor.
