This year I am donating some of the proceeds from my sales to the following organizations
| Consider giving to Kiva- www.kiva.org.-a non profit that offers micro loans to small businesses in third world countries. A gift certificate allows the recipient to go online and select an applicant to lend to and then follow their progress. My daughter was so excited to give her gift certificate loan to a family in Peru hoping to start up a small restaurant! Great lessons here for the kids in your lives. |
| National Public Radio: www.npr.org various stations and programs (the only place you hear what is really happening in the world and be introduced to what is really happening musically as well!
(highly recommend eclectic 24 on www.kcrw.com) |
| Meritus www.meritusfund.org MERITUS COLLEGE FUND bridges the gap to higher education for San Francisco public high school graduates. Meritus recruits donors to provide four-year scholarships to low income students who have demonstrated strong potential for college success despite challenging life circumstances. To encourage perseverance and graduation, Meritus provides its scholars with support and resources from the community. |
| Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center www.bhnc.org Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center works to preserve and enhance the ethnic, cultural, and economic diversity of Bernal Heights and surrounding neighborhoods. We promote community action to build a just and equitable community for all.
