The year is turning...If you celebrate Christmas, New year, Kwanzaa, Hanukkah, Bodhi Day, or Eid!...it's the time for remembering that we are all in this together folks..
.
Some ideas for making your gift giving more ethical this year..

Oxfam Unwrapped
You can plant 50 trees for 7KD, feed a family for a month for 12KD, feed 100 schoolchildren dinner for 3KD! and so much more..the site is worth a visit.

Shop at Ten thousand Villages, Natural Collection or Global Exchange

Give other gifts that don't need wrapping:
