It has been a while! This one is just to tell you that I have added a banner on the right to promote http://kiva.org. Kiva is an organisation giving you the opportunity to offer microloans to people in need all over the world. Here are my current and past (as some have paid back their loan) borrowers.
I suggest that you find $25 and start lending

Club Thievey
You can join Club Thievey by sending money to The Madagascar Fauna Group. It is all about lemurs. Mike Lee has the story in his post. Let’s try and save the lemurs! As an added bonus, send Mike a copy of the receipt for donations over $100 and he will send you a lemur very much like the one in the photos…
Help
When was the last time you gave money to a good cause?
Here is one that will cost you 20 seconds of your time every day… And it won’t cost you anything.
Hurricane relief in iTMS
Hello Apple,
How about letting your international customers provide help to the victims of Katrina via a link in their local iTMS?
You could also allow them to “purchase” via the US store (currently not possible, I tried). Instead of sending them back to their own store again, do redirect them to the American Red Cross page.

Tsunami disaster in Asia
It is very difficult to grasp the extent of the disaster happening in Asia right now. Yes it is still happening. The tsunami is gone but the devastation is still there…
This time of the year is when we tend to spoil each other and ourselves which is OK of course, but consider giving monetary donations to the victims in Asia. Consider any of these organisations:
Unicef: South Asia Tsunami Relief Efforts
Médécins san frontières: Tsunami Emergency Appeal
Save the Children: Asia Earthquake/Tsunami Relief Fund

A good idea
A Whole Lotta Nothing notes a good idea. Donate your petty change when shopping! I totally agree with him. A nice and easy way to help others and you get rid of your change as well
