Dan and have been donating all summer to the Canadian Red Cross Horn of Africa Fund. The Provincial liquor store here has wonderfully set up a donation program and I can't think of a much better place to do so! If you can afford a nice bottle of wine to accompany your dinner - you certainly can afford to feed a child for a day! We made a pledge to donate $5 every time we made a purchase at this store. It is very rewarding to know that our money was doubled and can stretch twice as far!
If you haven't already done so, please consider a donation to one of the following humanitarian organizations that are working in the region. A dollar a day can feed a child - as little as a $5 donation will feed a child for 10 days!
