Charitable Gift Giving

Have you ever heard of Novica.com? This is an amazing online store, in association with the National Geographic Society, that provides a market for artists and artisans around the world. The brilliance of this site is that all products sold on it go to help others. You benefit because you get to purchase an incredible handcrafted piece of art that you would have otherwise had to travel around the world to get; and in appreciating their art, you help struggling artists in underdeveloped or developing nations build their lives.

Definitely surf the site for a huge variety of sculpture, painting, jewelry, handicrafts, and more. The item picture above is just one example. This
ceramic tile box was crafted in Brazil, and proceeds from your purchase go to benefit the Mei Mei Association, which has assisted 600 families, provided a nursery for 140 toddlers, and guided 260 children with assisted learning and provides medical care through the volunteer work of doctors, dentists, psychologists, and social workers.
