Have you been giving to charity? If yes, where do you think your money goes to? What is it used for EXACTLY? Whenever i see students holding those tin boxes during flag day i just drop some money into it without thinking where it's going to. Now i've found something different.
ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) has come up with the 2006 gift catalog. It's called The Original Really Useful gift catalog because these gifts are for those who have very little and sometimes literally nothing at all but the clothes on their back. Gifts range from $0.25 to $500. Here's some of the gifts that are available.
- To Feed One Infant One Hot Meal a Day in Bangladesh ($0.25)
- Pay for One HIV Test for One Person in Burundi ($1.00)
- Save One Girl From Sexual Exploitation in Thailand ($100)
- Feed One Person Living With HIV or AIDS in Namibia for One Year ($200)
- Give One Single Mother in Ethiopia a Future ($200)
- Clean a Shallow Well for a Village of 40 Families in Somalia ($300)
- Provide 1,000 People With Medicines for Three Months! ($350)
- Provide One Portable Solar Barber Kit in Somalia ($375)
- Train and Equip One Traditional Birth Attendant in Zambia ($600)
For me, i'll be making sure i save one girl from sexual exploitation in Thailand in December. Then in January i'll probably buy one cow for a Vietnamese Family.
The website is so cool you gotta see it!
