COMMUNITY AWARENESS
If you’re looking for a way to give back this holiday season, check out Charity Checks. Charity Checks’ “giving certificates” allow consumers to shop from home, save on taxes and give a present that’s redeemable as a donation to any of 800,000 IRS-qualified charities across the country.
Launched in 2006, The HERO Youth Ambassador Program was developed to provide comprehensive school-based support to orphans and vulnerable children living in HIV/AIDS-affected African communities. This past summer, twenty-four teens from across the U.S.A. were selected to become Youth Ambassadors and traveled to Namibia and South Africa to work on Protecting Futures, a program by Tampax and Always to improve school facilities and educational programs as well as providing resources to help girls in Southern Africa maintain school attendance during menstruation. For more information on the program, you can visit http://www.protectingfutures.com/

Kailani can be found at An Island Life and An Island Review.
hi kailani! great round up.
i’d like to write a post too 🙂
I’d think twice about the Protecting Futures project. How are the girls going to manage at home once their free protection finishes when they leave school? How about hygeine at home when so many of them have no electricity, running water? P & G can provide all they like at school, but there is no infrastructure around for disposable protection.
You do SUCH a great job each week with this post!
Thanks so much Kailani… Great roundup!
Aren’t those baby shoes the cutest?
Hooray! for Hooray…I will check them out…
