Worthy causes

This link was posted on the forum today. I found the video wonderful and the work that is being done on behalf of these women, so important. So many of the children that need to be placed for adoption, are placed because there is no food, no way for them to be supported. It iss making changes in the day to day lives of these families that can lead to significant changes! So check this out!

Another organization I feel very strongly about is Ethiopia Reads. There was just a wonderful article about this group in Good Housekeeping. It was in the Oct issue, so if you haven't grabbed it yet, do before it is off the shelves. To learn more about this great program go to:

www.ethiopiareads.org

I will continue to research ways we can all make a difference in Ethiopia!

I'm intrigued by these very worthwhile endeavors. What are your recommendations for next steps?

I am not quite sure what the next step is...still have to get through the adoption, but I think at least Ethiopia Reads will become an organization we support for the rest of our lives!
