Donate $20 and get The Passion
This is a surprisingly Yankee-specific offer (although people in Palau and Bermuda and a few others are included so take a look) and surely not going to appeal to everybody anyhow, but donate $20 USD or more to World Vision and get a free CD: "The Passion: Everything Glorious" CD - 13 Powerful worship songs from today's top artists." Hey, it's for a good cause. And thanks to nearly $107 million in donated food and grants, your gift today will multiply 8 times in impact! That means a gift of $20 will provide $160 worth of life-saving food to people in need. Now that's food to everybody's taste.
World Vision is all about getting food to people - of every dollar, 87 cents goes to actual food programs, 8 cents goes to fundraising (so they're getting over tenfold return on their fundraising expenses - nice work, guys) and five cents goes to administration. They're sending goods over to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Tanzania, Burundi, Lesotho, Malawi, Ethiopia, Niger, Somalia, Sudan, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Need more convincing? Check out this video. Really also makes me feel more strongly in favour of the West African organic cotton t-shirt as perfection since the more self-sufficient West Africa is, the more we can focus on getting East Africa on track. -- [GT]
