A Time to Give: Our Favorite Charities
It’s a season for being thankful for all the wonderful things in our lives. A season to gather our family and friends. Most importantly, it is a season for giving and giving back. There are many ways you can make a difference this holiday season, and we would like to share with you some of our favorite charities.
UNICEF helps those who need our help and support the most —children suffering in poverty, malnutrition and disease. With so little you can do so much to help improve the lives of these children around the globe through UNICEF.
- $20 will feed AIDS orphans in China.
- $40 can cover the monthly hygiene and sanitation costs of a day-care centre for HIV-positive children in the Ukraine.
- $100 can provide a year’s worth of school materials, and daily hot meals, for two children orphaned by AIDS in Malawi.
- $375 can provide the entire range of services to an HIV-positive mother in Guatemala to prevent transmission of HIV from herself to her infant.
We have long been inspired and touched by Operation:Smile. With volunteers, they work throughout the world to repair facial deformities and cleft palates of children, bringing medical care to places where there is none. These operations give these children a new lease on life and the ability to participate actively in their own communities. Can you believe that you can by a smile for $250 – and $750 pays for the operation and post-op expenses? To find out how more about how you can give, visit:
Education is a cause very near and dear to us and Teach for America even more so. Teach for America aims to eliminate education inequality by recruiting and training dedicated recent college graduates to the public education system. We believe that everyone deserves the access to the best education no matter where they live and ensures that no child is truly left behind. Charlotte and Barry sponsored a teacher and Charlotte taught in a classroom last year. A priceless experience. By donating or volunteering for Teach for America, you too can help.
