<div>(Reposted from my blog.) <br/> <br/>Wahooo! <br/> <br/>Remember how I said I wanted to grow up to be a professional philanthropist? Yay! Adulthood beginning now! <br/> <br/>I was a bit concerned about finding charities that are efficient and in line with all of the things that tug at my heart strings. I regularly send small amounts to the ASPCA, Sea Shepherds, Mercy Corps, and the ACLU and am happy to do so. But one thing that is REALLY important to me is education. When someone knows their own mind and the power they have at their disposal, nothing is impossible! <br/> <br/>TheDave23 recently told me about the Children of Ethiopia Education Fund. Damn! It's just... so awesome. They send Ethiopian girls to school, feed them, provide medical care, and help build more schools in the area. At first I was a little miffed that it was just girls, as I am all about equality. The thing is, it's addressing the current inequality in the area, as girls are rarely educated and generally expected to stay home, cook, clean, and do all that happy horsesh**. Well, here's some stuff from www.coeef.org: <br/> <br/> <br/>Following their first visit to Ethiopia, Norm and Ruthann [the founders] recognized that Ethiopian society was weighted to favor boys over girls. Women will generally not speak in the presence of men, and are expected to perform most of the menial labor associated with Ethiopia's largely agrarian lifestyle. In most families, if there is a choice of who to send to school, the son will go before the daughter. In fact, while 64 percent of boys attend school in Ethiopia, only 36 percent of girls do so. Even girls who do attend school are often forced to drop out around age 12. Then, they are expected to tend the herds or care for younger siblings. Often, they are given in marriage by their families, or become sexually active and contract AIDS/HIV. In rural areas, young girls are often kidnapped for wives by men from other villages and never seen by their families again. <br/> <br/>And yet, studies have shown that in sub-Saharan Africa, girls who stay in school are less likely to get AIDS, will marry at an older age (and thus be better prepared for the responsibilities of being a mother, rather than passing poverty on to a child with a teenage mother), and are more likely to improve the lives of their children than comparably educated men. In fact, at the 1994 Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, one speaker declared, "Educate a woman and you will educate a nation." For this reason, COEEF remains primarily a girl’s education program. <br/> <br/> <br/>A bit sexist, perhaps, or maybe just addressing the current situation there? In any case, the real clincher is that besides sponsoring a girl there, Dave *actually went to Ethiopia and met her*! He said the things they are doing there for the children are amazing. He knows the people who founded it, I believe, as they are from SLC like he is (don't worry, no LDS proselytizing at the school ;), and are really nice folks. <br/> <br/>So... education -- check! Addressing inequality -- check! Proselytization-free -- check! Ability to donate a relatively small amount and make a HUGE difference -- check! (That last thing comes with the added bonus of minor ego stroke -- check! :P) <br/> <br/>I got paid yesterday and just made a donation. OMGOMGOMG! Some girl gets to go to school now! THAT'S SO FREAKIN' AWESOME! :D :D :D <br/> <br/>Oh, and I made my donation through my Network For Good badge, a little linky thing you can set up on MySpace and Beliefnet.com and other places. Way cool! <br/> <br/>If you're interested in learning more about CoEEF, check out this page on their site: http://www.coeef.org/whatwedo.shtml <br/> <br/>Network For Good is here: http://www.networkforgood.org/ <br/> <br/>My badge is here: http://www.networkforgood.org/pca/Badge.aspx?BadgeId=112646 , in case you want to bump up mah numbahs! ;D <br/> <br/>Wahoowahoowahoo!

<div>I have recently opened a business in the health and wellness field. I am coming across a multitude of ideas surrounding my business and I recognize that I require mentoring and possibly philanthropy. I am looking for someone who is well established and has a desire to help foster an era of well-being for following generations. This sounds incredibly idealistic, but I simply request that judgment be reserved until we have met. I am passionate, mostly patient, spontaneous, have an absolute love for life. I generally resonate with higher frequency energies, and have a long history of letting my conscious be my guide. My being has realized much power, recently, as my intellect has realized its limited to a dualistic reality. It has become an impressive tool in reflecting the subconscious intuition. I thank you for your time and if the previous string of words stirred a desire for action, please contact me. <br/> <br/>May love continue to expand your Creation, <br/> <br/>Kane <br/>http://www.floatmatrix.com</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ForAllMankind.tribe.net">Benefactors, Mentors, Philanthropists</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Here is a story about someone's grandmother: <br/> <br/>GRANDMA AND THE CAKE <br/> <br/>A little boy is telling his Grandma how "everything" is going <br/>wrong. School, family problems, severe health problems, etc... <br/> <br/>Meanwhile, Grandma is baking a cake. She asks her grandson <br/>if he would like a snack, which of course he does. "Here, <br/>have some cooking oil." <br/> <br/>"Yuck" says the boy. <br/> <br/>"How about a couple raw eggs? " <br/> <br/>"Gross, Grandma!" <br/> <br/>"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?" <br/> <br/>"Grandma, those are all yucky!" <br/> <br/>To which Grandma replies, "Yes, all those things seem bad all by <br/>themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they <br/>make a wonderfully delicious cake! Life works the same way. <br/> <br/>Many times we wonder why things are they way they are... and we <br/>must suffer such bad and difficult times. But God knows that in <br/>life, with these things all in order, they always work for the <br/>good. We just have to trust and, eventually, they will all make <br/>something wonderful!" <br/> <br/>Unknown</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://ForAllMankind.tribe.net">Benefactors, Mentors, Philanthropists</a> - 1 reply </div>
