Want to Aim a Holiday Contribution at Sustainability? Consider the Turimiquire Foundation

At this holiday season, while we’re all in such a festive and generous mood, it would be wrong of me not to mention The Turimiquire Foundation, by my wits the best bang for the buck you’ll ever find in terms of raw humanitarian horsepower.  Originally aimed at establishing sustainable agricultural practices with the community of subsistence farmers in Northeastern Venezuela, Turimiquire has branched out into family planning and education, helping hundreds of thousands of those most desperately in need, while doing a fantastic service to the planet in terms of maintaining a healthy, forested environment in that part of the world.  I know they’d appreiocate any contribution.
