". In it she shares stories of how individuals can make alot of difference with small donations. Her website has some great recommendations of organizations who provide useful help to those in need. Examples include: - One Million Lights send solar powered lights to people in the developing world, including recently to Haiti to help medical workers. $25 buys a light.
- World Bicycle Relief sends bicycles to people who have no transportation so they can go to school or work. $134 buys a heavy duty bike.
- Darfur Stoves Project which provides stoves to women in Darfur. These stoves require 24% of the amount of wood of normal stoves thus making collecting wood less dangerous for the women. $30 buys a stove.
The main point is that no matter how small a donation you can give, it all adds up! Every has an impact much greater than people imagine.
