"In my mind, philanthropy is not about the money. It’s about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improving the world." -- Melinda Gates

"However, I need some money. $2,500 to go to Africa in January." -- Margaux Wolfington

I am looking at going to Benin, West Africa January 21-31. I will be going with Mercy Ships. "Mercy Ships is a global charity that has operated hospital ships in developing nations since 1978, bringing hope and healing to the forgotten poor by mobilizing people and resources worldwide, serving all people without regard for race or religion."
