So one of the most rewarding charities we have given to is Compassion International - see link below. You literally can scroll through pictures of thousands of precious kids who need a sponsor for $34/month. This tiny amount of money literally transforms their lives. They get to go to a special Compassion School in their village every week and also any extra funds goes towards their families needs - food/blankets/etc. They only ask you for additional money (via email) for birthday and Christmas and we ususally just give $30 extra. Other than that, you can become a pen pal with your child. Our childs name is Irene from Kenya and she is very smart. Some day I hope Julianne and Jenna can start writing to her. Anyways, here is the link if your heart leads you to do this:

How are things going? We miss you around here. WE adopted our first little one last year through Compassion. We just got his renewal papers in the mail today. I love getting letters from him and coloring pages. So cute! I agree...a great organization! Hope you guys have a great Christmas!
