Worthy Charities: Spread Love and Light

 

 

In light of the NYC Marathon and the special holiday Eid, today’s blog is an effort to spread awareness for humanitarian issues. Everyone can do his/or her part in the effort to help others, whether it’s running 28 miles, cooking hot stew for your struggling neighbor, buying dinner for your child’s teacher, or simply helping an elderly family member grocery shop.

These are the everyday actions that will help contribute to the light and love of the universe and hopefully be passed on. But there are other ways you can help too! We know spare change is hard to come by these days, but here are some worthy charities you should know about. If you can, contribute! Volunteer! Educate the little ones! Anything so we can continue to spread love (and beauty) around the world and in our backyards.

 

Three Worthy Charities and Organizations:

1. Human Rights First
