| There is a beautiful gift idea that I came across on the web.
Maggie Gyllenhaal has teamed up with Trickle Up, a poverty alleviation organization that gives people living on less than $1 a day seed money to launch their own businesses, while providing business training and support. They focus primairly on women.
When you donate $100 to Trickle Up, Trickle Up will send a specially designed silver necklace (created by Maggie’s favorite jewelry designer TENTHOUSANDTHINGS) to a family member or friend. The $100 donation goes directly towards helping small entrepreneurs (many of them women) in Africa, Latin America and Asia take the first steps out of poverty and start their own small business. I feel like this is the perfect gif tfor any yogi out there!
Check out there website at http://www.trickleup.org/
You can order the necklace and read about the incredible work they are doing around the world!
