I literally just got an email and had to let out my excitement SOMEWHERE. This is the first time I have ever received a gift of this kind and I never would have thought it would make me this happy.

Some Background

As many of you who read this blog regularly know, a year ago I had a chance to visit an organization in Mumbai, India called Aseema and fell in love with it. If you want to learn more about Aseema, click here to read about my experience…

In short, Aseema is an organization dedicated to building schools for very underprivileged children, many of whom live in VERY poor conditions, even homeless.

The children, the organization, the founder, the mission, all of it spoke wonders to me. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to get as involved as I want to get because of other prior responsibilities, but I know the time is coming soon and I know I can make a very positive impact on the organization…

So What Was The Gift?

One of my closest friends and co-workers sponsored a child’s education for a year at Aseema in MY name!

I got a notice from a staff member at Aseema that this donation had been made and I was absolutely smiles and could have done a BACK FLIP (instead I sent her a thank you email and came here to blog

I Never Thought “These KINDS” of Gifts Were Appreciated…

You know you always hear about these kinds of gifts and for the longest time I always wondered if people really like them. I never had the “kahoonas” to gift someone with a non-profit gift to use them as an experiment.

But today, seeing my reaction, I’m confident that it does - this can be one of the BEST gifts you can give anyone.

Here is what I recommend, look at what “cause” is close to one’s heart and find a non-profit organization in that area and donate to it in their name. I have a good feeling they’ll love it!
