Making a difference in 2011
Dec. 25th, 2010 01:04 pmThese times are financially challenging for most of us, and as much as we would like to help those less fortunate, all too often our pocketbooks can't stretch that far.
One of the organizations that has made a little money go a long way is the Quaker organization, Right Sharing of World Resources. Very small amounts are enough to jump-start micro-enterprise ventures for women entrepreneurs in developing countries, mostly Africa and India. The women themselves participate in designing and monitoring the projects. (Click Projects to see how this works.)
Even if you don't have dollars to donate, you can help by saving postage stamps. They've raised over $50,000 this way, an enormous difference in the lives of the poorest people. Send them to Earl Walker, Claremont Friend Meeting, 449 Alamosa Drive, Claremont CA 91711.
Mission statement: We believe God calls us to the right sharing of world resources, from the burdens of materialism and poverty into the abundance of God's love, to work for equity through partnerships with our sisters and brothers throughout the world.
