Tzedakah...learning to give freely; without expectation. I model that for the kids and expect kids to grow in this direction. They collect pennies throughout the year to give to any charity they wish. Below are several charities that I support:

* American Friends of Mogen Dovid Adom (
www.afmda.org) - Israeli's ambulance and blood bank. This is NOT supported by the Israeli government, only by donations. I am the Maryland Community Outreach Coordinator.
* Lupus Mid-Atlantic (
www.lupusmd.org) - An auto-immune disease that affects, joints, muscles and organs. I have a personal acquaintance with Lupus.
