Unicef and Red Cross is a pretty good way to start. Their easily accessible and are well established. Good post, BTW. Sheenas last blog post..Stay Slim and Healthy on a Frugal Budget

[...] How To Get Delightfully Rich (And Still Keep Your Soul) by Sonia Simone at Remarkable Communication The thing that kept her on that death bed wasn’t her illusion, it was ours: that HIV is too big a problem to stop, that the millions who are dying, and the children they leave behind, are beyond our hope. Better not think about it, because it’s too big a problem to fix. [...]

Sonia, sorry I didn’t get a notification of this – bloglines is all over the place this week. I’ve been browsing looking for powerful blog action day posts to link to next week and wondering where all the good stuff was – and here it is! You’ve hit a lot of nails bang on the head.

I get so frustrated with people who think material conditions don’t count. We’re so deluding ourselves if we think they don’t. That doesn’t mean we need to get downhearted or pessimistic – it means using that knowledge to start working out what the heck to do next.

@Judy, I loved the story on your blog, how utterly amazing. You touched on something that I didn’t get to–the importance of a specific story. That’s what works for me about Smiletrain–I can visualize one kid. “Solve poverty” is just big and amorphous and overwhelming. “Save Abadou’s life and give him a second birthday” is very concrete and very real.

@Mike, it’s no treat to be in your situation, and I know it. But a little whack is always good to recognize what we do have, too.

Thanks to everyone for such thoughtful comments, great posts, and big hearts!

Inspiring stuff, and I do believe that whatever a person’s pocket or morals they can find a charitable organisation they can support. Even those people who are cynical can find orgs that sit well with them, I’m certain.

I’ve been blogging thrice for Blog Action Day, and I’m reviewing how much time and money I invest in good causes:

What is the solution to homlessness?#
And today; No solution for the homeless
