Just a quick post to share the results of a bet I recently made. A friend (http://terrbear.org) and I recently made a friendly bet about eating out with all proceeds going to the charity of the winner’s choice. Well we ended in a split of him owing $100 and me owing $50. So here is what I would like him to do with his $100:
I choose this charity:
http://www.icr.org/
Just kidding. If you ever donated there, I would stop being your friend. Science FTW.
Really, I choose:
http://www.thp.org/
They provide aid in countries with severe poverty and/or violence. But instead of just giving a hand out, they try and help people/communities become self sufficient. They also give focus to women and try to help them become fully respected and participating members of society.
I also choose them because they have low administrative overhead costs and can allocate a high percentage of donations towards their programs.
Anyone else reading this, it would be cool if you donated as well.
