All it will cost is the price of a stamp.

When T was in elementary school we would cut out Box Tops, take it to the school and in turn the school would get money.  (Go to Box Top Products for more information.)

While going through my pantry today I noticed that I was throwing away money.  So what I have planned to do and I hope my blogger buddies in the States will think this is cool and follow suit, is to collect them.  I will call our local elementary school and ask if they partake in the Box Tops program, put it all in an envelope and mail it to them. 

For 44c we can be giving back so much to our schools.  Just another great way to volunteer.

You never know.

A few years ago I found Kiva.  For those of you that don't know what it is here is a quick summary.  You loan someone money that Kiva has determined needs help.  Over a period of time they pay you back and you are free to take your money and move on or reinvest.

Many months ago I loaned $25.00 to a gentleman in Lebanon to help with his business.  Kiva notified me that he had repaid the loan.  I chose to reinvest and I went through the list of people needing a loan for their various ventures.  I selected a woman in Africa and as I clicked to reinvest my $25.00 I was notified that this woman now had her complete loan and was able to move forward with her business.

Sometimes we don't always get to see what a difference we make in someone's life.  Thanks to Kiva I was able to.
