January Dinner Topics
- Martin Luther King, Jr. We learned about his life and his impact on the civil rights movements. Read more about MLK on Nobel Prizes.org
- MLK Trivia Game Prizes were handed out to the winners who knew the most about Martin Luther King, Jr.
- Be the Change: Save a Life is devoted to gathering stories, offering solutions, and acting as a clearing-house for people who want to know more, get involved, or volunteer. My favorite story is about Plumpy'Doz a promising nutritional supplement that helps ensure growth and a healthy immune system and solves many distribution problems. Through watching this video we learned a lot about the issues in solving hunger throughout the world. Check out SaveOne.net
- What did you get for Christmas? Here are some of the cool things we got:
- Flock of Hope and Trio of Rabbits from Heifer International, increasing health and prosperity for hungry families from the Philippines to Rwanda.
- Malayan Pearl Diver Chest from Tropical Salvage
Read about how they contribute to positive economic, social and environmental change by salvaging old wood and putting it to new imaginative use.
- An Arctic Fox from World Wildlife Fund donating to their good work protecting the future of nature and sharing our passion for life on Earth.
