"Even the mighty oak was once a little nut like you." --Sabina Peters
Spare Some Change?
Ever get in a plane and have non-exchangeable coins in a foreign currency? You need to get rid of them but it's too late. Well, British Airways got the idea of asking folks to donate them to charity; they called the program "Change For Good." Research showed that one out of two folks contributed; ten years later, this program was adopted by various major airlines and has raised over $45 million for nonprofit causes all around the world.
BE THE CHANGE
Collect all your spare change, whatever the currency; you'll be surprised how quickly it adds up. At the end of the year, use it to make someone smile.
