Philanthropy has always been on my radar.
Being a student and a philanthropist often seems hard, but there are small ways. For example, I currently sponsor a child in Mexico for $30 a month through World Vision. And I did a bit of help jump starting an organization with a bunch of friends to encourage students to help peers in Africa. I read the PETA newsletters, and the WE climate green emails.
But if those things are plausible for you to pull off... I found something the other day on a shopping trip that really excited me! Whole Foods is in the midst of their Feed 100 campaign. For $29.99, you can buy a large tote bag while providing 100 school lunches for children in Rwanda. The tote zips up into a small burlap envelope (when open, the burlap is the base of the bag, the rest is organic white cotton). The bag is quite large, perfect for school book, or the girl on the go. And inside are two pockets to help keep you organized! To top it all off, the Whole Foods I was at was giving away a raffle ticket with each bag to enter to win $200 of groceries.
Sometimes, a little oompf is needed with philanthropy. Money going off into nothingness is a scary thought, especially for a student. So getting this tote in return was perfect!
