I hope everyone had a great Christmas! For me, one of the most rewarding parts of Christmas is giving to those who are less fortunate than I. Having traveled to the Horn of Africa with the Marines over a decade ago, I experienced the plight of the people there (especially the children)  first hand. Because of that experience ( see photos) I choose to give to the Abandoned Babies and Children Center which is an organization that is in the process of helping babies and children in Kenya right now. Now I'd like to encourage you to help as well!

I know it's not why you or your friends give, but time is running out to take advantage of the tax benefits of your 2008 charitable giving. The deadline for tax benefits on 2008 returns is days away and abandoned babies need help now. What better time than the start of a New Year to invest in a child's future? Babies unlucky enough to be born in one of the poorest places on earth need help just to survive. You can help provide everything an abandoned baby needs to grow and thrive. Plus, you'll get a tax break in April.

You can give as little as $5 so why not give now and help children and babies!
