THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

----------------------------------------------------------

THIS HOLIDAY SEASON, GIVE GIFTS THAT GIVE BACK!

----------------------------------------------------------

TOMS SHOES
http://www.tomsshoes.com

For every pair of shoes purchased, TOMS gives a second pair to a child in need.

"Most children in developing countries grow up barefoot. Whether at play, doing chores or just getting around, these children are at risk.
Walking is often the primary mode of transportation in developing countries. Children can walk for miles to get food, water, shelter and medical help. Wearing shoes literally enables them to walk distances that aren't possible barefoot."
----------------------------------------------------------

PRODUCT (RED)
www.joinred.com
A percentage of all (RED) purchases goes to the global fund to fight AIDS in Africa.

Find (RED) items from these (RED) partners:
Starbucks, GAP, Apple, Dell, American Express, Hallmark, Nike, Bugaboo, Converse, Armani, and more!

----------------------------------------------------------


UEND:POVERTY
http://www.uend.org/dt/


UEnd: (formerly ChristmasFuture) was launched to help inspire and empower North Americans to refocus a portion of their gift giving budget towards strategic and sustainable projects in the developing world - to help end extreme poverty.


Our website makes it easy for people to take a small percentage of their gift giving and redirect it towards the eradication of extreme poverty. Gift givers can send an online gift card to friends, families or co-workers. The gift recipient then allocates their gift money towards a poverty intervention project that interests them. Or people can give directly.
This new way to give puts the power of change into everyone's hands. And it creates a connection between the developed world and the developing world by changing the way people think about giving.
----------------------------------------------------------

There are many more ways to give back when buying gifts for the holidays. Get creative!

HAPPY SHOPPING!
♥always,
-BENGEE
