Did you do your one thing?

Back in October, I challenged you to do something each month for your fellow man. How many of you have done it? I'm happy to say I have. Each month, I sponsor a loan on Kiva for $25. Because I know that I won't miss the money, but they will truly appreciate it. Better than just giving to charity, Kiva helps entrepreneurs around the world using small loans. So when the people I sponsored pay up, I can reinvest that money in another project.

I chose my one thing, and I'm doing it. How about you? Here's my Kiva page so you know I put my money where my mouth is.

I'd also like to re-encourage you all to "Click to Give". Right now each of the pages has last year's stats up. 72 million cups of food for the hungry. 7577 mammograms. 989957 children given health care assistance. 522292 books. 14957 acres of land saved. 77.8 million bowls of food for shelter animals. Those are some pretty powerful mouse clicks. Now image if you'd actually participated?

Personally, I've added them all to a folder in my bookmarks bar and just use the the 'Open all in tabs' option once a day. Not as annoying as using them as homepages every time I open the browser, and more convenient than saving one site and clicking through to the rest one at a time. I'm happy to report that Chinese internet limitations have not affected my ability to click to give!
