Thirst Relief International is having a fundraiser https://secure.thirstrelief.org/momentum/fundraising_page/19
that supports Thirst Relief and ends on Sunday, January 30th~ if they reach the goal, they will pick one person to go on a cruise with Photog Retreat 2011!
It is a fantastic cause and certainly can't hurt to donate even if the goal isn't reached. We live in culture where $5 for an extra large latte appeases us for a few minutes~ but imagine if that same $5 could be used to give a child clean drinking water for the rest of their life? Even if you aren't interested in this fundraiser, please check out the site and donate to help build a well in India, or build a water filter system in Haiti.
Info on the fundraiser (also on the blog links above):

Giving Back~ Organizations supported by Circle of Life Photography
In giving back, Circle of Life Photography's main goal is to help those experiencing extreme poverty and nourishing them with food, shelter and spiritual guidance. Education is a big part of helping people learn how to help themselves and change the downward spiral of poverty for a better future for themselves and their children. Locally, a more tangible way of giving back is through using my photography gifts to serve others who are experiencing crisis (see NILMDTS and Pillows of Love.)

In 2011-12, Circle of Life Photography makes a monthly $30 donation to the non-profit organization, Compassion International, whose goal is to change Haiti through the rescue, nuture and discipling of children during the critical early childhood years.
Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Foundation
http://www.nowilaymedowntosleep.org/
Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation (NILMDTS) gently provides a helping hand and a healing heart for families overcome by the grief and pain of the death of their newborn or infant. Offering gentle and beautiful photography services in a compassionate and sensitive manner is the heart of this organization. The soft, gentle heirloom photographs of these beautiful babies are an important part of the healing process. They allow families to honor and cherish their babies, and share the spirits of their lives. I am an active NILMDTS volunteer photographer for Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Lancaster Women & Babies Hospital.
I am honored to be a volunteer photographer at the Joni & Friends Family Retreat in the Poconos (Spruce Lake Retreat) for a week each summer (click here for past blog post.) Joni & Friends seeks to serve as a ministry of outreach to people with disabilities and their families across the US and around the world. Families from around the country attend Family Retreats seeking relaxation, encouragement and a time to strengthen their family.
