(how to thank me beyond words -
which many of you, surprisingly, like to do)
Gift ideas for Jayne
(for those of you who struggle with such -- apparently that's most
of you. Please, do NOT send any more barbecue sauce!):
My
Amazon Wish List (actually, there's two here -- the other
is for my "big ticket" items: obscenely-priced goodies).
Something from the UNICEF Market or similar organization
that offers fair-trade items from developing countries that
promote the work of local people and help fund development
activities.
Make a donation in my name to:
ANY local animal shelter anywhere, especially in an area
that's struggling. I'm particularly interested in campaigns
that encourage people to spay and neuter their dogs and cats,
to properly care for their dogs and cats, and to not purchase
birds, fish or any exotic animal as pets or for display.
Any local nonprofit theater, local dance company or
nonprofit movie house anywhere.
Riders for Health, a
nonprofit organization using motorcycles and the training of
local motorbike riders to improve delivery systems for
healthcare in Africa. Yes, motorcycles save lives in Africa!
Mayhew International (helps animals,
particularly street dogs, in developing countries, including
Afghanistan)
