Giving Back

I have not been able to make much progress with forming my own charity, but I wanted to share with you a place where you can make small donations to very specific causes that you are interested in. I recently gave a little to a fund that will help teachers and students study the water quality in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. You will hear back from them personally to thank you for your support.

Dear Mr. Cannone,

Greetings of Peace and Love! I am so grateful for the monetary help to assist my students in studying the water quality of New Orleans waters. This project started last year. I wish to continue the study this year so my class will have the data to analyze in class. This year, I will emphasize the skill of correlation study. The resources you provided to me is a blessing. Thank you and I wish you well in your endeavors. Sincerely, Sheila Lumod New Orleans, LA

Here's another great organization: 

My brother introduced me to an awesome new program that is providing wheelchairs for many of the 25 million disabled people in china, and people with disabilities all over the world. You have to see how they are taking regular patio chairs and converting them to free wheelchairs. A small donation can build a wheelchair and provides mobility, and freedom for someone who needs help. I just thought this was cool and wanted to share it.
