Christmas Future
At our wedding last October, Emily and I suggested to all of our guests that they should consider making donations through christmasfuture.org in lieu of a traditional wedding gift. This resulted in about $3000 being lodged in our Christmas Future account which we then distributed among a number of projects, such as these:
- CORE International , Microcredit, 3 Year Program.
- Technology Preparation Training: Language courses for youth and women, 3 months
Here are some of the reasons why we chose these guys.
- The projects selected by Christmas Future are focused towards the achievement of specific goals. It’s not just about their hearts being in the right place.
- They are small charities with very modest budgetary requirements, so your donation could easily make up a sizeable proportion of the funding for a specific project. These projects are things that would not happen without you.
- You haven’t heard of most of the organisations doing the work, because they have prioritised nobler aims than the branding of their organisations.
Christmas Future is running a campaign right now called ‘TweetmasFuture’. If you haven’t yet finished your Christmas shopping check it out.
