Are you stressing about the upcoming gift giving season? Why not give a gift that will change a life? There are a number of charities where you can invest in people around the world who are trying to climb out of poverty by creating a business. These groups take your financial gift, bundle it with other and give a hand up to towards purchasing livestock, seeds for crops, materials to create items for sale. Heifer.org and Kiva.org are just two.
It’s a great way to teach kids how to step outside of their own world and see the big picture. They can follow the progress of their donation/loans and decide how and where they want their gift to go!
If you want to give a gift of healing, Purification in Paradise, my annual retreat in Costa Rica is a wonderful ayurvedic detox and chance to heal with yoga, breath, relaxation and fun.
