GONZO.

“Maybe there is no Heaven. Or maybe this is all pure gibberish- a product of the demented imagination of a lazy drunken hillbilly with a heart full of hate who has found out a way to live out there where the real winds blow- to sleep late, have fun, get wild, drink whisky and drive fast on empty streets with nothing in mind except falling in love and not getting arrested…”

Teaching children about charity

I’ve seen a lot of talk lately in my online circles about how to teach children about the value of giving back.  Some great suggestions have come up, like volunteering time at a soup kitchen, setting aside some allowance for donation, etc.

Last week I tried a new service that is a great way to teach kids around the time of their birthdays.  GiftAround is a service to let you pick presents with your kids (for their birthday party) and have guests contribute to them (instead of getting a bunch of crap that nobody wants).  The big teaching moment here is that you can set aside up to 25% of the contributions to go to a charity.  I loved sitting down and looking through the list of kid-focused charities and choosing the one we all wanted.  This was a great way to explain each of these non-profits, and letting my child decide where he wanted his money to go.

Highly recommended.
