Kid-Friendly Fridays: Making a Difference with MarkMakers
Friday, February 15, 2008 at 07:26AM MarkMakers is a one-stop charitable giving site designed with kids in mind - the place for young people making a difference.
From the site:
Our charitable gift cards enable kids to make a mark in the world… their way…Using our gift cards, kids can shop at the MarkMakers store for goods & services in need around the world. They can spread their funds among more than 40 needs/causes such as vaccines, medicine, & eyecare, or saving animals, rain forests & coral reefs.
For instance, kids can give to One Laptop Per Child putting the power of technology into the hands of kids in developing countries.
Or they can use their gift card to adopt an acre of rainforest through The Nature Conservancy Adopt an Acre program.
The idea is simple, gift givers give kids a MarkMakers gift card and kids make their mark by putting the funds towards charitable organizations around the world to help kids in need, fight poverty, end disease, animal welfare, the environment, peace & justice. It’s a great idea that empowers kids and helps them make a difference. Learn more at the MarkMakers website.
