3 ^{of 4} Small Donations, Big Impact

Shelene strolls with a group of children in the Dominican Republic. Her charitable foundation, Skip1.org, enoucourages donors to skip just one manicure, car wash, latte, movie, pack of gum–any small luxury–and donate the money saved. She believes that many people making small donations can make a huge difference in the world.
