Eunice Kennedy Shriver

Eunice Kennedy Shriver has worked for 40 years promoting Special Olympics. I don't have any special tie to either, but I've always thought it was a neat organization/event and when I ran across the article on Ms. Shriver above, I figured you might want to see it too!

How to help end world hunger and poverty

Here's an article from eHow that outlines several different things that you can do to help make things better (shop at places that donate proceeds to charity, donate to Goodwill and Salvation Army, hold fundraisers, volunteer at soup kitchens, etc). I like this article because it focuses on relatively simple things that anyone can do to help.
