The holiday season is upon us and as such it is time to get gifts for those near and dear to your heart. Some people are easy to shop for. The Star Wars fan, gets Star Wars fun the reader gets a new e reader. But one of the most difficult people to shop for are often those who put all their effort into helping others. The donators, the volunteers, we all have at least on in your families. hopefully.
I do have a few tips on what to get these special people in our lives. One option is the Gifts of Lasting Change from CARE. With the ability to find a gift ranging from a goat for a family in need that provides milk to a tap of clean water to a school. The donations vary in price and type. Each Gift of Lasting Change represents a small piece of CARE’s enormous body of work, which last year helped 72 million in 90 countries with poverty-fighting programs focused on empowering girls and women. With each purchase you have the option to either send the recipient a personalized e-card to or to download and print a paper card to mail. And because CARE is a non-profit, all gift purchases are 100% tax-deductible. In his recent column on holiday gift-giving in the New York Times, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and filmmaker Nicholas Kristof recommended supporting CARE’s work promoting girls’ education.
CARE celebrated the 70th anniversary of its founding on November 27. CARE was founded in the aftermath of World War II to send relief to Europeans left starving and homeless by the deadliest-ever human conflict. Actor Matt Dillon recently narrated an inspiring short video about CARE’s history that explains how CARE was founded with the creation of the CARE Package, and how the concept of the CARE Package has evolved through the decades. Today the box symbolizes lasting change.
CARE has endured not simply because there are people in need still, but because there will always be people willing to give of themselves to make a difference in people’s lives. To Give a Gift of Lasting Change to a loved one is to tell someone that they inspire you to do good for others.
