Go Global

• Go on one of our Learning Tours. These trips take folks like you to really cool and really challenging places to see how people really live and what we can do to give them a hand. How old do you have to be? As long as your folks think it's O.K., it's O.K. with us.

• Food for Thought hunger awareness activity! Find out what it feels like to be rich, poor and in between--and what small furry creature is a delicacy in Malawi...

• Find out whether your purchases are making the world better OR are supporting sweatshops, deforestation and all kinds of other nasty things. Check out Spending Money--our brand new flyer on -- well -- spending money on things like cell phones, chocolate, and bottled water. And here's a story about workers in toy factories making 20 cents an hour. It's no fairy tale... check it out.

• Check out Brethren Volunteer Service or other volunteer agencies at www.idealist.org. They'll send you to incredible places to meet incredible people to do incredible things—and even pay you $60 a month besides! Are they crazy or what!!??Act Up!

• The Time for a Change series gives background on issues like sweatshops and drilling in the Arctic, and then offers ways you can work to change the world for the better.

• How much did the place you buy your clothes pay the young women who made them? (clue: usually less than 2% of the purchase price!) Check out www.responsibleshopper.org.
