Charity

I have been involved with Invisible Children, a charity which helps to free African kids from being forced into war. I have been to a presentation but I've never given money because I never have enough, but when I start giving, it will be that charity, because it's important for a child to have a childhood and not sadistic warfare.
It is always better to give than recieve because it opens doors that you didn't know were there. If you're casually handing out little gifts from time to time, people will feel appreciated and you are more likely to be appreciated as well.
