America's economic downturn presents a double-edged challenge to charitable organizations. Hard times mean that more people than ever will be in need of help -- and that fewer people will be in a position to help. But while the burden for charitable giving has traditionally fallen on the Bill Gateses of the world, today's technology has leveled the giving playing field. Facebook and MySpace have become hotbeds of charitable giving -- as have sites such as Kiva.org, SixDegrees.org, and DonorsChoose.org. A key element of these nonprofits is that they allow donors to connect directly to those they are helping. You don't just add your contribution to a pool of money meant to help the faceless needy -- you can target specific individuals and watch how their lives are changed by the money you give.

Each day in developing countries more children die unnecessarily from water-related diseases than there are people in my hometown on Long Island, NY.

Once upon a time, things were made to serve a purpose. Consider the light bulb, the compass, and the cardiac pacemaker. No doubt necessity was once the mother of invention.

To get the real experience of the Painted Turtle Camp, you have to live there. You have to feel the emotions these kids feel when they get to summer camp, that they are having so much fun.

I loved you in the Sopranos. Sorry about the singing career.
It is wonderful to see participants bringing Aids awareness to the majority of minds so numb to anything dealing with HIV Aids. Swaziland is a supporter and participant in the World Aids Database, documenting healthy and HIV positives alike. This documentation will track patients to see which drugs are working and which are not.
