Been a while since I’ve put up an entry in my Doing Good series.

They have four main programs that range from training and supervising nannies to provide as much loving care as possible to children in orphanages, to providing educational [...]
Paul’s Kids is the next selection in my Doing Good series!
What a great organization this is. Paul and his group do amazing work in Viet Nam.
Projects they work on include providing wheel chairs to disabled individuals, providing health care, paying for life-saving surgeries, helping students afford school, etc. They also do a lot of work [...]
My next selection for my Doing Good series is Ethica.
Ethica is an organization that works fervently for ethics in adoptions, both domestically and internationally.
I could say lots about Ethica, but their own About page does it best.
They are currently holding a fundraiser so that they can continue to help adoptive families, and work toward ethical [...]
The next pick for the Doing Good series is the Global Volunteer Network. This is an organization that connects people who want to volunteer in some of the world’s most impoverished areas.

This week’s Doing Good selection is an organization called Modest Needs.
I was wavering back and forth trying to decide if I should add this to the series, and obviously decided to do so.
Modest Needs is a bit different from other charity organizations. Most charities concentrate on helping those with extreme needs; those with no housing, [...]
Back from a short hiatus is the Doing Good series.
This weeks pick is Families in Viet Nam.
FiV’s main program is a school sponsorship program, which pays for tuition and supplies so that a child may attend school, as school in Viet Nam is not free. I really like programs like this because you get the [...]
This week’s Doing Good selection is Plan USA. Plan works to help both individual children, through direct sponsorships, and whole communities, with projects such as clean water and disaster relief assistance. Plan has been working around the world for over 70 years.
I love that in the direct sponsorship program sponsors sometimes have the opportunity to [...]
