One day all artisans in the developing countries will earn a fair wage, be treated with dignity and respect and be able to live a life of quality. Ten Thousand Villages provides vital, fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in North America. Ten Thousand Villages works with artisans who would otherwise be unemployed or underemployed. This income helps pay for food, education, health care and housing. Ten Thousand Villages is a nonprofit program of Mennonite Central Committee.

My Kids Feet has made a pledge to impact the lives of children from across the globe through the gift of shoes.Footwear is a basic necessity of life that most of us take for granted. Our children grow up with the finest quality children's shoes available, yet over 300 million children on this Earth today live without a single pair of shoes to protect their feet. They walk on dirt roads, often covered in trash and debris, and have nothing to protect their poor growing feet from the elements.

My Kids Feet has made a promise to help these children. For every pair of Morgan and Milo or Dinosoles shoes sold in 2009, My Kids Feet will donate a pair of shoes or sandals to a child in need through our charitable partner, Soles4Souls. This is the absolute simplest way that you can have an impact on a child's life. All you have to do is make a purchase of any Morgan and Milo or Dinosoles brand shoes from our site and we will donate a free pair of shoes to a child in need. It really is that simple.

Here's an easy and fun fundraising idea suitable for any school or other organization with different classes or groups to set up some competition. It's called a penny drive. Each class or team competes against the all others. Each class decorates a large jar for their collections. The jars are set up in some accessible place, perhaps outside the school office. Be sure to arrange proper safeguards as necessary. The idea is to earn the most money for your class.

Every class comes out a winner. Last place classes get ice cream cones as prizes. The Second place class receives a sundae with whipped cream, syrup, bananas, the works! The class in first place wins a pizza party and sundaes!

involve the whole school in writing a book of the children's favorite recipes. This is a hilarious and profitable fundraising idea. Ask each child in the school to tell you: 1) What they are going to cook; 2) What ingredients they will need; 3) How do they make their recipe; 4) How do they cook their recipe; 5) Draw a picture of what they want to cook. Write the children's responses down exactly as they tell them to you. Compile the recipes into a book and sell them to parents, friends, etc.
