There is nothing better then buying a gift for someone, while helping out someone else. I know that many of us donate to charities, especially around the holidays. While it is an amazing feeling to do it for the joy of doing it, it is always nice to be able to donate while checking off a person from your holiday shopping list. With World Vision, that is exactly what you are doing!
World Vision takes the worrying out of shopping while helping millions of people in nearly 100 countries around the world. They are a Christian humanitarian organization that is dedicated to working with children, families, and their communities worldwide to help with the poverty and injustice. They help all people, regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, or gender! They truly are doing God's work. We'll call them angels! :)They offer gifts to us in exchange for a donation to help the less fortunate. 
For instance, you purchase a beautiful handcrafted Thai Turquoise Bracelet for $40. The bracelet was made in a project that helps protect vulnerable girls from exploitation which in itself is amazing! So the face value of the bracelet is $8.50 but you pay more since it is a donation. Well, let me tell you! I received this exact bracelet to check out and I never would have guessed it was only worth $8.50 and definitely would have paid more for it. But the best part is, when you make this purchase, yes, you are getting a beautiful bracelet, but you also can feel great about yourself because you just helped another family have a better holiday!
