Change the World with Your Computer
by Eliza Bloom
Seven simple ways you can reach out in kindness without even getting up
from your computer.
We often think that volunteering takes a lot of time, money, and effort.
But it's the little things we each do, every day, that have the biggest
impact on our world.
Here are seven simple ways you can reach out in kindness without even
getting up from your computer.
1. Make a child smile. Here's a site that connects you with children
suffering from life-threatening illnesses, so you can send cards or
small gifts. You decide what to send and what to say.

2. Help a child with literacy. Become a pen pal with the In2Books
project, which trains adults to discuss important subjects in their
letters to elementary school students.

3. Sponsor a child. The cost is just $28 per month through the Save the
Children Foundation. If that doesn't fit your budget, consider asking
your officemates or neighborhood friends to pitch in.

4. Take the Ecological Footprint Quiz. Find out how much "nature" your
lifestyle needs to support what you use, and what you throw away. It's
just 15 quick questions, plus lots of links to let you know what you can
do to change things.

5. Make a difference with your dollars. Quickly and easily determine
whether the companies you do business with are socially and
environmentally responsible.

6. Click for kindness. Each click on the following websites earns a set
contribution from a sponsor:
http://www.thehungersite.com - Each click gives the value of 1.1
cups of staple food.
http://www.thebreastcancersite.com - Your click funds free
mammograms for women in need.
http://www.thechildhealthsite.com - Each click helps prevent
life-threatening diseases, restores vision to blind children, and
enables child amputees to walk.
http://www.therainforestsite.com - Each click funds the preservation
of 11.4 square feet of endangered rainforest.
http://www.theanimalrescuesite.com - Each click provides the value
of 0.6 bowls of food and care to a rescued animal in a shelter or
sanctuary.
7. Be an e-mentor. E-mentors spend one hour or more each week
communicating with disadvantaged teens. This time can be split up
however you like throughout the week. All communication is done through
the icouldbe site, so you won't be getting emails at work or home.

What will you do today to make the world a more kind and loving place?
