Even though Martin and Karen registered online for a Honeymoon registry, they have also decided to ask friends and family, in lieu of gifts, that they give to World Vision (http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/give/ways-to-give). We challenge you to help sponsor a child or just donate to help people in need. Another organization that Karen and Martin participate in is KIVA (http://www.kiva.org/about). This is an amazing organization that allows you to loan money to people in poverty that are trying to get out of poverty by helping out with their small business. This is a completely legitimate organization and after your money is given back (the business people pay you back!), you can either cash it back to yourself or reloan to another small business. Karen really loves this organization. She gets to choose who she loans the money to and how much. In addition, you get to see how well the business person is doing and much more.
