I've recently learned of two non-profits that could benefit from our support. The first, The Colour Sisterhood: The sisterhood seeks to champion the cause of the orphan child and widow, to come alongside women (near and far) who are facing challenge, and it ultimately seeks to influence nations with goodness and answers that are to be found in God (from their website)
The second, Kiva, allows you to loan money to an entrepreneur, many of whom are from third world countires. You choose the person/enterprise you want to support and loan them the money through an online service. They have 9 months to pay you back. You can do this for as little as $25. You can help men and women begin their own business and become self-supporting. How cool is that!

I'm intrigued by Kiva. Maybe I'll have to check it out....
I'm thinking a 5th grade class project--each student brings a dollar and they've funded a business in another country. You can track progress on the internet - that would be very educational and fun! :-)
