Six days to Christmas...

"The great art of giving consists in this:
the gift should cost very little
and yet be greatly coveted,
so that it may be more highly appreciated."
~ Baltasar Gracian ~

Links of the day:
Have you ever considered giving a gift which blesses others
in the name of the person to whom the gift is intended
(especially if the person wants nothing in particular?)

If so (or if you are just feeling imbued
with the Christmas spirit of giving),
then here are some very worthy causes to donate to:

Reach For A Dream

FORA (Friends of Rescued Animals)
Meals on Wheels for the Aged
CLAW (Community Led Animal Welfare)
Salvation Army
TEARS (The Emma Animal Rescue Society)
CHOC (Childhood Cancer Foundation)
HAWS (Hartebeespoort Animal Welfare Society)
CANSA (Cancer Association of South Africa)
Wet Nose Animal Rescue Centre
WMACA (Women and Men Against Child Abuse)
Eseltjierus Donkey Sanctuary

P.S. I would like to donate ZAR200
to one of the charities above.
Please nominate the charity you
would wish to receive the donation
by leaving a comment with the name of the charity
before Sunday at midnight PST (UTC -8h).
The charity receiving the most nominations
will receive the donation,
and a tie will be broken by random draw.

P.P.S. All animal societies listed are pro-life.
