Now, More Than Ever
Now, more than ever, the world needs our help. What can you do? LOTS! It's so easy! Just go to The Hunger Site every day and click to make a FREE donation. Then navigate the tabs at the top to click for FREE donations to combat breast cancer, provide child healthcare, promote literacy, save the rainforest and help with animal rescue. When you click, businesses and organizations make the donations for you! You can also shop, with your parent's cooperation, at their stores to help even more. Each site has a store plus there is a Gifts That Give More store. At the Gifts That Give More store you can buy a pair of shoes for a student in Africa, send a girl to school in Afghanistan, feed a hungry family in the United States, save Jaguar habitat, and so much more. The last thing my adult relatives need is more stuff. So I get them a Gift That Gives More instead. I buy the gift and give them the information about the cause I helped as their gift.

And while you're at it...

Monday is often the toughest day of the week, isn't it? You have to get up early, get yourself to school, turn in homework, and think about all the things you have to do during the week. Why not start off the week with a smile on your face? Visit the Do One Nice Thing web site to join a cause and help others: send a cheery message to a soldier in the Middle East, provide a warm sweater to another teen who can’t go to the mall and buy a new one, and fill a backpack with school supplies for an elementary school student. Those are just a few of the things you can help out with at Do One Nice Thing. No local groups in your community? This web site will show you how to start your own Do One Nice Thing club.

Happy Giving in December!
