SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE CHRISTMAS - GIVE JUSTICE!


Some choose to boycott it, some choose to simply ignore it. Others will go for some organic/fair trade somethin' somethin' or to spend the night at a shelter. During Christmas season, most of us simply spend hundreds of dollars on gifts that are most likely to end up in the closet, or on a paper bag underneath the bed.


ChangingThePresent.com offers a new and innovative alternative: to allow your dear ones to contribute in a cause which is meaningful to them. For instance, for $50 gift, you can: feed a Brazilian child for a month; offer an American artist a one-hour session with a coach; buy a goat to a woman in Ethiopia who can then start her own business; or provide a literacy-kit for an elderly person to tutor a K-4 child.
