Something simple that I do is sponsor children in third-world countries.  I have 2 boys right now (one through Children International and one through WorldVision), but one of them will be turning 18 very soon.  I have enjoyed getting see little snippets of their lives, and I feel great about the fact that I can help them receive proper care and education.

Another thing that I think is awesome is the gift guide that WorldVision sends out each year around the holidays.  Gifts that you can give to people include a donation for building a well, donations to buying livestock, donations for school supplies . . . or you can buy 12 months worth of gifts!

I know that by placing my money into the hands of trusted organizations such as Children International and WorldVision that I can make a difference even in places that I can’t go to myself.

Sidenote: This post fulfills #67 on my 101 in 1001.
