VANCOUVER TRENDZ [THURSDAY]
Charitable Donations Holiday Gift Guide
December 20, 2007
World Vision Sheep - ($150) “Sheep” for you may translate into cute sweaters, but in poor countries just one of these critters can help a family become self-reliant. Make a friend feel warm and fuzzy this season by donating a sheep in her name. Sheep provide wool, meat, milk, fertilizer, and fuel. They breed easily and often produce twins or triplets, which can be sold at market or bred to produce an entire flock. Now before you start scratching your head wondering how on Earth you’ll a) find a sheep for sale and b) convince Canada Post to send it to Peru, simply click on the link for World Vision and the charity will arrange everything. See www2.worldvision.ca/gifts.
Paws for a Cause - “What, boy? What is it? You want a treat? Huh? What? You want me to donate to the SPCA in your name to help all your furry friends stay off the street? To get them the care they need? Even cats? You say you want this for Christmas instead of that plastic fire hydrant you’ve had your eye on all year? Sure, boy, I’ll do that for you. Great idea. What a good boy you are! What a good, generous boy! Sniff out www.spca.bc.ca for details.
Amnesty International Book of Stamps - ($31) If you believe the pen is mightier than the sword, then give the gift of postage stamps and help Amnesty International further its letter-writing campaign. Every year AI members send countless missives to all points of the globe imploring governments to release political prisoners, defending workers’ rights, empowering individuals to claim their basic entitlement, and more. The Book of Stamps gift covers 20 overseas stamps. Click here to discover other Gifts of Freedom from Amnesty. www.amnesty.ca.
