A couple of years ago I got involved with Women for Women International...I had just graduated college and wanted to find a group I could support that I believed was making a difference in the world. Women for Women International is an organization that helps women in war torn countries begin to rebuild their lives...I've always been a firm believer that if you give women the skills, knowledge, funds, and courage to be their best, you will rebuild a country for the best, from the bottom up...If women are teaching their children by example the importance of compassion and hard work, the people of that country will grow up to do the same. So when i got an email this morning about Women for Women's holiday gifts I had to share...Instead of getting someone who has everything and more another chotchke, consider getting them a gift that gives back. For as little as $15 you can purchase something that directly helps a woman rebuild her life...You can even give someone the gift of learning to read! How awesome is that?
