Don’t Just Give this Christmas, GIVE!!

So it is that time of year, stores are running clearance specials, people have their Christmas lists finalized and its time to spread that Christmas cheer.

Well, we here at Elemental suggest that rather than just giving a gift this holiday season, why don’t you GIVE a gift? And what we mean by that is supporting the groups that exists with merchandise for sale that the proceeds from the sale will be passed along to different groups of people that could really use the money.

We plan on putting up a few different options and links to some great groups. And to kick this list off, we are going to promote Light Gives Heat.

Light Gives Heat is a group that wants to see Africans empowered through the encouragement of economic sustainability and creative endeavors. Light Gives Heat believes that the people of the Western world can be the change and rebuild Africa.
