Torina's World: A Child's Life in Madagascar
June 12th, 2009 · Amazon, Developing Areas
Torina’s World: A Child’s Life in Madagascar
Parents for centuries have been lecturing their kids about “the hungry kids in Africa”. But those words are usually meaningless.
Photographer Joni Kabana changed all that with this book created in 1997, with photographs of the daily life of a then-eight year old girl named Torina. Her then-nine year old son helped her edit the images into a book and add simple text which showed the struggles of life in a remote mountainous village living in a small hut. The book was an amazing way to remind kids in developed countries how blessed they are.
Joni returned to see Torina in 2007, still living in the same hut but with seven brothers. The book is being published again, this time with part of the proceeds helping Malagasy charities and funding for educational activities in Madagascar. And the little girl Torina herself whose story was told ten years ago is now on her way to being a doctor.

My Life with Laura: A Love Story
June 9th, 2009 · Amazon, Breast Cancer
But this book is a very personal one that doesn’t have to do with small business. It’s about his wife Laura. Laura passed away from breast cancer in November 2007, leaving behind Mr. Moutray and their beautiful young daughter Charlotte.
The book, published one year later, is a beautiful tribute to Laura Moutray. In Mr. Moutray’s own words, the book was written so his daughter would better know her mother once we grew up. It’s a beautiful story of the life of a young couple with the world in front of them, shattered by a devastating disease, and the strength and faith of a wife and mother.
A portion of proceeds will go to the Laura Moutray Fund for Women’s Ministries at First Baptist Church of Alexandria VA, as well as to breast cancer research.

And every quarter, you’re able to sign up to receive a full 5% cashback on things like gas, hotel expenses, home improvement stores, restaurants, movies, and more. The cash you get back is saved for you on the Discover Card site until you “cash it in”.
Most people may not realize that the money you earn from the Discover Card cashback can be donated directly to charity. Specifically, you have options to donate your cashback bonus to:
Children’s Miracle Network

In fact, Discover will donate an additional amount to the organization listed that gets the most contributions.
Apply for the Discover® More Card today! and earn cash that you can use to help a great cause. In fact, you’ll make more money for your charity than if you had a cause-related card, which typically donates 0.3% to 1%, not 1% to 5%. And unlike with other cause-related cards, the money you donate is fully tax-deductible.
