This month I decided to support 9 Queens, a non-profit headquartered in Arizona that was founded by Jean Hoffman and my sister!
They are simply a chess teaching non-profit that puts a special focus on girls and at-risk youth.
Give them lots of money!!!!!!!
Really interesting project. Wasn’t able to donate an incredible amount since I’m a student, but happy to do what I can for such a worthy group.
Best of luck to your sister and everyone at 9 Queens.
Thanks for your blog; looks like you’ve selected some really interesting charities.
Another cool project to consider is One Laptop Per Child ( http://laptop.org/en/participate/ways-to-give.shtml ).
While it’s a fairly established organization, the impact one person can make with a single donation is very tangible. Anyways, I know you mentioned wanting suggestions at some point; and I personally can’t imagine not having access to a computer or the internet.
So yeah, keep up the great work. And as a side note, I really enjoy the videos… (I’ve been watching them in reverse order. so it was entertaining how long I was wondering what the hell you were doing with that excel spreadsheet (I would guess somewhere between 5-10 eps. before it became apparent
))
peace,
Chris
Thanks for the comment, the donation and the suggestion! I have a bunch of ideas for future months, but will definitely keep yours in mind.
