Gift Giving

Since this is the season for giving, I think this would be a great time to practice focusing outwards, putting the needs of others ahead of our own. Here is something you can do for me this Christmas:

I have always had trouble finding organizations to give to, but a friend of mine recently introduced me to two organizations: Christian Aid and UN Foundation. The first site: Christian Aid is a great site (although they deal in UK pounds and Euros) for giving for specific needs in areas with poverty and malnourishment. It has lots of opportunities to teach and train the people to support themselves; "teach a man to fish" if you will. It reminds me of the serve opportunities they'll have posted on little paper circles outside of Rock Harbor occasionally. The other site is UN Foundation it helps aid the UN's relief and rebuilding effort in different parts of the world, especially in the aftermath of the South Asia earthquake.

Let's be "dangerous" this year and may you all have a truly blessed Christmas.
