This fabulous site, PlanetAid, connects you to all corners of the world. Not only do they make important strides in different countries they also have programs in the United States. They have teamed up with schools in Baltimore-Washington and Kansas City to help them with a recycling program and a clothing drive. There are a few different ways you can help Plant Aid. You could donate your used laptop to be given to students at The Teacher Training colleges in Angola, Mozambique and Malawi.
You can also donate your time by volunteering in the USA or in Africa. There is also a blog maintained by Plant Aid. There you can find post written by managers, videos of the programs they sponsor, such as clothing donation and they have even hosted a Hobby Stock Care Race in New Hampshire.
