CauseWorld

You might have noticed an extra label for each of the past three posts saying "CauseWorld" and wondered just what CauseWorld is. CauseWorld is an app for your iPhone/iPod touch that allows you to earn "karmas" you can donate too the charity of your choice simply be walking into a store. You don't even have to buy anything! With these karmas, you can do things like preventing child abuse, providing a meal, or even supply a person in Sudan with water for an entire month! It's simple, it's easy, and it's a way that you can help with just jumping to that app once in a while!

Prevent Child Abuse America

According to PCAA's (Prevent Child Abuse America) About Us page, "Since 1972, Prevent Child Abuse America (PCA America) has led the way in building awareness, providing education and inspiring hope to everyone involved in the effort to prevent the abuse and neglect of our nation's children." And their goal is to, of course, prevent child abuse and neglect.
You should know what's coming next--What can you do?
Visit this page for some tips on how to help prevent (or stop) child abuse and neglect. And, as always, monetary donations are always appreciated. Finally, you can volunteer at a local chapter.

Feeding America

Feeding America is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity helping more than 25 million Americans each year. There goal is to keep American informed of issues surrounding hungry Americans and to feed those people. "Did you know one in every eight Americans is food insecure? Much more needs to be done to eliminate hunger—and you can help! We are looking to create a movement to end hunger here in America, and we are looking for dedicated advocates like you to join us (Quote found here)."

So what can you do? Donate financially to get the food to the hungry. Or to take it even further, search for your local food bank here. Most of the time, volunteering is much more needed than the money, although both are important.

CHF International

I know its been awhile since I've been on here...but hey--I don't have any readers anyway, so who cares? But since the last post I've done two things:

1. Start a Twitter acount for this page (which can be found here).
2. Change the name to ...Possible With God, which is my shortened version of Mark 10:27-- "Jesus looked at them and said, 'With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God." Which I think is a very powerful verse. And I must not be the only one who thinks this, because it appears more than once in the Bible (Luke 18:27, and Matthew 19:26).
   

CHF's (Cooperative Housing Foundation) Mission Statement-- "CHF International's mission is to be a catalyst for long-lasting positive change in low- and moderate-income communities around the world, helping them to improve their social, economic and environmental conditions." With this mission in mind, CHF has helped with economic development, emergency response, global health, housing, and urban development in countries all over the world. It's almost hard to pick things to tell you about...well, here: let them tell you.

It's good information, even if it is seven minutes long. And if you want to watch more, there is a CHF YouTube Channel. And remember, monetary donations are always needed!
