K.I.N.D.: Kids In Need of Desks →
Every day, millions of children throughout Africa struggle to learn while sitting on the floor or on the ground outdoors. Giving them a desk, where they can write and concentrate, is the first step towards creating an educational system that attracts, and keeps, eager young students.

You can find a project in your area, or fund something you’re especially interested, pick one at random, or put a project over the top.

a story about a man and a horse →
I could say I tried, and things would go on as usual. Grandpa said maybe he’d try to read the book, though it seemed almost impossible that he’d ever regain the clarity of mind and extended alertness necessary to read such a long work.
Then, at 2:27PM on Tuesday the 14th, I checked my email during a business meeting. There was a message from a “Lee, Sharon” with no...

Women for Women International →
For this Kwanzaa/several-of-the-12-Days-of-Christmas period before the New Year, I want to highlight some nonprofit organizations you might consider donating to before the end of 2010. Erin at A Dress A Day was asking people to give to Women for Women International in the time leading up to Christmas. It’s still a good time to give to them! Here’s what Erin had to say:

A teenager's simple act elevates all →
It is profoundly isolating to have a child as severely disabled as Sammy. It’s hard even for well-meaning friends to understand the immense strain of his all-consuming needs.
