Ride the Do Good Bus
The Do Good Bus is a frequently updated database with new non-profits, local causes and volunteer opportunities. It includes all types of volunteering from working with kids to beach clean up to building new homes.
Their trips provide global awareness but they are also committed to creating awareness for local causes. They hope to be an online resource of ways to help in your community.

Clean For A Cause
Improve your quality of life while reducing our global footprint. I found The Norwex Store through Kelli Hampton's blog. It not only supports the Green Movement but also supports an Inspiration organization. The Norwex Store is well known for their antibacterial reusable cleaning cloths that reduce the need for chemicals in your house and all of Rachel Baxter's profits until Easter 2012 will go to support Reece's Rainbow!

A FairTrade Frenzy
Fair. Who doesn't love when things are fair. Support a family from India or a village from Viatnam. Maybe Egypt, or Pakistan, Africa or Cambodia. The designs are unique and these styles you will not find in your Pottery Barn or Macy's catalogue.. Take a look at this site and see what inspiration you can find in the things you love to buy :) Click The Pic To Get The Link
Come Unity
My sister is an architect and spent a summer in Africa helping design and build sustainable living for the less fortunate. She has since grown to incorporate supporting this community in her daily life and has joined an organization that does just this. She challenged and encouraged my sisters and I to take on the same responsibility by sponsoring young women in Pokot, Kenya. "Their realities are so far removed from ours that it is hard to fully comprehend the events they have endured at such a young age. Your donation will give your sponsor child the opportunity to receive an education and become a valued and independent member of her community. My prayer is that as much as you are transforming her life, her story has/will transform yours. I look forward to beginning this journey with you and am so thankful for your support. Lives are being changed and it will not go unnoticed"
Take a look at the link. Perhaps you or someone you know could feel inspired to join Come Unity, a trustworthy and blessed organization, and help young women participate independently in their community.

From Ursula's Family To Ours...
"When one of my family members was diagnosed with a severe liver condition, my life dimmed. I immediately began detoxifying my world. I came to realize the candles I had enjoyed for decades contained dangerous paraffin wax, so I changed my brand of candles…to my own. I created a high quality, strongly scented soy candle that I was very proud of, so I put my name on it."
