I was reading something a while back, maybe it was Kiplinger’s, maybe it was a website, I dunno, but I had these 2 links book marked in my drafts folder. I thought it’s a couple neat ways to “invest,” so I thought I’d share.
The first is kiva.org, where you can support entrepeneur’s all over the world, generally in places where starting your own business would be a little harder without some extra help. I’m a little skeptical, but it seems like a good idea.
The second is donorschoose.org, where you can find schools in lower income areas that need funds for a particular project.
Some pretty neat ideas in my opinion.

These sounds like a great idea. Much better to give money to a project rather than just dumping a lot of money at a charity where it may not even reach the victims it is intended for. I definitely think that donated money should be used to help the needy to help themselves.
