So what can we do to ensure our gifts have the greatest impact and are used responsibly?\n\nMy suggestion is to find out what the needs are at your cause of choice. Your local food bank probably needs non-perishable food items, diapers and toiletries. New refugees relocating to Canada may need household items or warm clothing for their children. If you’re planning to donate internationally however, the greatest need and most effective gift is likely money.\n\nFinancial donations require no transportation costs and can be sent quickly and efficiently to where funds are needed the most. In addition, they are often matched or multiplied by governments or other agencies, increasing their impact.\n\nIan Abbot, my massage therapist in Victoria, BC, was the second person who reached out to me this past week. He decided he wanted to do more than just make a one-time donation, he wanted to spearhead a fundraiser. The problem was, he was unsure who to connect with and how.\n\n“I’ve always been very passionate about alternative energy and the way it can make the world a cleaner place,” he wrote. “Then I thought about the fact that clean and affordable energy can have a profound effect in places like Africa.”\n\nI immediately thought of Canadian NGO and \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Funiterra.ca\u002Fen\u002Funiterra\u002Fabout-us\">Uniterra\u003C\u002Fa> partner, \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.farmradio.org\u002F\">Farm Radio International\u003C\u002Fa>.

Farmers report that listening together not only enables them to learn from the programs, but also from each other.\n\nEmpowering farmers with information through the power of radio is a cause Ian could get behind. He’s already reached out to FRI and is eager to start a fundraiser.\n\nGiving back is a priority for many of us, especially those who visit or plan to visit a developing country. I felt the same way the first time I came here 13 years ago.\n\nAt 20 years old, I had never encountered the kind of desperate, gripping poverty I saw here. The first time a small child tugged at my pant leg with an outstretched hand, my knee-jerk reaction was to give. Without thinking, I reached into my pocket.\n\nIt’s a human reaction, I think – to give blindly in such situations. What I didn’t consider was that children who beg often skip school or drop out to pursue more lucrative (short term) opportunities on the street. I didn’t realize that giving handouts could contribute to and perpetuate cycles of dependency while depriving children of their education.\n\nI’m not trying to vilify well-intentioned individuals — just the opposite in fact. I would like to see more compassion and giving in this world; more people who are willing to share what they have, whether it be knowledge, resources or skills.\n\nI just believe we need to take the time to think first.\n\n \n\n\u003Cstrong>Planning a trip abroad?
