small things

The charity Donors Choose knows how to keep you involved. A few months ago I donated some money to a project which was labeled "High Poverty - Kentucky". This was to help a school teacher buy some books for her AP Biology students while studying Evolution. She described it as a difficult and controversial topic to cover with students.

The teacher was good at acknowledging the first donation and the progress from that point. Now, in today's email was a set of pictures showing her class holding and reading the books.

Between the teacher and the organization the end result is a feeling of money well spent.
