This time of the year is celebrated almost by everyone, whether you have faith or not. Whether you are into a religion or not. We also think this time of the year is more about giving than receiving. Share. Listen. Give a hand. Help. Of course we don’t pretend we are the perfect ones, on the contrary. But we can give, even if not much.
Below, a list of gifts and organizations for your consideration, if you want to give, of course…

CNN published a Special Report: Impact your world. The introduction from CNN: ‘Take action on the news you consume! These resources include some of the highest-rated charities by CharityNavigator.org (an independent and non-profit organization that evaluates and rates thousands of charity groups based on effectiveness and financial stability) and are vetted by CNN journalists for credibility. CNN does not endorse any organization and information is provided as an inspiration for you to explore the best ways for you to impact your world’.

Everyone is free to do whatever they want. We just wanted to give you some ideas if you want to give ‘differentely’ during Season’s greetings. We hope you enjoy this moment with family and/or friends. Our thoughts go to all of those in pain and in need.
