World Wildlife Fund
For global warming, environmental
issues, and animals a great charity to
choose would be the World Wildlife
Fund. And what kid wouldn't want to
save an elephant, dolphin, or polar
bear?
The website has a feature that is fun
for kids and parents called "WildFinder"
which maps the world's animals. It is a
searchable database of thousands of
species worldwide. You can search by
place or species and learn about birds,
mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
Donating is fun too with symbolic
animal adoptions, a WWF Endangered
Species-of-the-Month Club, and
handcrafted items that support
sustainable livelihoods.

Pencils of Promise
Sure to appeal to young
people, Pencils of Promise, or
PoP, brings education to kids
around the world.
This nonprofit builds schools, trains
teachers, and mentors students. In
addition to this primary mission, PoP
also wants to inspire people to join its
movement and spread the word about the
need for education in many countries.
You can donate, buy a t-shirt or a
backpack, or help spread the word. Giving
just $25 educates one child for one year.
Be sure to read about Adam Braun,
the young founder of this inspiring
organization. While backpacking around
the world, Adam asked a young person
what he wanted most. The answer? A
pencil. Thus an idea was planted, and
Adam took it from there.
