After several weeks of spotlighting nonprofits I was introduced to at a blogger's conference in October, it is time to choose which one will be receiving the proceeds of my clothing sale earlier this fall. Your job? Comment on this post or on Facebook and cast your vote for one of the following worthy organizations:
1. Sole Hope- This organization's voice is raised for children in Uganda and other sub-saharan African countries who fall prey to jiggers, a sand flea that burrows in the feet and hands. The donations from my clothing sale would go to fund all aspects of the Sole Hope mission, including hygiene and jigger removal clinics, fair wages for shoemakers, and an Outreach House that works with the most devastating jigger cases.
2. Ornaments for Orphans- This organization sells fair trade items with proceeds benefiting orphans in Africa. A gift to O4O benefits Pearl Ministrie, a Christian non-profit corporation dedicated to improving and enriching the lives of Ugandan orphans and children through Gospel-centered and holistic development programs.
3. Preemptive Love- This nonprofit organization funds heart surgeries for children in Iraq, where heart defects are remarkably higher than in other countries. Money given helps fund a surgeon's travel expenses to Iraq, pays for supplies, and helps cover the surgery itself.
