This year I’ll be doing something different throughout the year. In short post I’ll sum up some details about the several fight-for-a-cause type website I have linked to in the past months.

Details will include things like what the cause is based on what they mention, how you can support them and if I have them personal experience with the specific cause. Also, I would be very thankful for any personal experiences you can share with a featured cause.

The first to start of the series is Avaaz.org
