I really love the concept of this gift card. So much so, I think I'm going to give some as gifts. Especially to a couple of the teenagers in my life. I want to give them "the gift of giving." :)

I want to remind them how blessed they are to be living the lives they have here in the US. I want to give them this unique way to think beyond themselves, make a difference, and help others that are suffering in other parts of the world. And most of all, I want to give them something else to do other than text message on their cell phone and Crank That Soulja Boy. :)
