This is one of the most wonderful ideas I have come across in a very long time. I am completely in love, as it has brought back Holiday Cheer I haven't had since I was a child. Please enjoy  and pass it on.

If you love a lot of people on limited funds, the ADRA has beautifully meaningful gifts for dirt-cheap. Some of my favorites: 
  • For just $1, you can purchase a hot lunch for a child in Madagascar 
  • For $2 you can give one internally displaced girl education for a month
  • For $10 you can sponsor a childhood class on how to detect tuberculosis in Bolivia, and so on all the way up to
  • Sponsoring a career workshop for a Colombian woman so that she may learn a trade to support her family for $600 
  • Giving a full eight-week medical restoration treatment to a starving child for $800
  • Creating a whole irrigation system in Africa for just above $2000. 

Accompanied with screen shots and a beautiful letter this can be the most lovely gift, and really a step outside the box. 

p.s. Rethinking Christmas also had some really creative ideas, and as always I am a huge fan of Worldvision International
