Erika,

A lot of the writing you publish is in venues known for their social conscience. Are there any NGOs or social agencies you've come across that stuck you as especially necessary in your work? Anything that you want to inspire others to get involved in? If so, I'd like to see you blog about it and win a donation in my charity campaign.
