In talks with many of you on the docks, you are already aware of needs and helping those around you through participating in various things like Toys for Tots. In fact, one of you was mentioning that from Thanksgiving through the Saturday prior to Christmas your division at work often pitches in to collect around $10,000 to be used for such organizations. Here are two more that you might not be aware of but continue to provide needed services for those in other countries.
www.heifer.org Heifer Project International Through their work increasing sustainable development and partnership within communities, Heifer International works to end poverty and hunger. Check out their website to see how a gift of a pig, chicken, bees, a cow or goat can help to end poverty and hunger for a family.
www.nothingbutnets.net Nothing But Nets is a partnership between the NBA, the United Methodist Church, United Nations Foundation, and Sports Illustrated to help end malaria. $10 buys an insecticide-treated net to help prevent the spreading of malaria, which is the number one killer of children in Africa.
