The mission statement of One Laptop per Child is artfully constructed: "To create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning." So, be mindful.

Empowerment for our participants comes from connecting to an inner wisdom that is often kept hidden from public view, but is a place of extraordinary innate strength and well being. Each card is a piece of art in my mind. If you want to support Afghan women and girls, make a Traveling Postcard and send it to us.

One of the nonprofits that inspires me locally here in Santa Cruz is a youth empowerment and food justice organization called "Food, What!?" Doron supports them. Most of these youth have bigger issues on their minds: addiction, gang violence, social anxiety, the possibility that they may not graduate from high school or get a good job.

With that in mind, World of Good has really launched a kind of retail strategy, looking a lot like Hallmark. We started about two years ago with that commercial mission in mind, and we now have 1,000 stores across the United States that have a small section, a World of Good "footprint" in their store. We want to support it."

Britt Bravo: In so many of the groups you profiled, the women were using the arts for education, empowerment, or healing. The children are ages 6-16, and they're making huge strides by leading a national movement against child rape in Zimbabwe. Because he is wonderfully supportive of these projects, he shares those with me.

This last fall we produce a CD called Eye of the Storm which has been an amazing project, just the creativity and the generosity of the artists who participated on this CD still blows my mind. It's an amazing act of love really in response to the hurricane and the racial neglect that occurred down on the Gulf.

I think it's worth it (: Kavita Ramdas: The Global Fund for Women is the largest independent, publicly supported grant-making foundation to advance women's human rights internationally. It's long, but I hope you'll take time during your coffee or lunch break to read, or listen to her inspiring words.
