DonorsChoose.org: A Way to Help Teachers Educate

I was attending a conference last week, and one of the evening activities was a auction to help out teachers all over the US do the things they wanted to bring about good education for their children. That's when DonorsChoose.org was brought to our attention. 

Their tagline is simple and direct: "Teachers ask. You choose. Students learn."

You go to their website, look over all the projects that teachers all over the country are asking to be funded and choose one - or more - and send your donation online. So far I have not seen any extravagant projects, nor have I seen one where they are asking for more than $1,000 for a project, although I believe that some of them should ask for more. But the point is not for us to completely fund a project ourselves. Give what you can or spread what you can to as many projects as you'd like to support.

Anyway, in this season of giving and the need to be especially choosy this time of year, I wanted to bring this organization to your attention. 

Chowdy-chow!
