The biggest gift we can ask for is for all of you to make the effort to celebrate with us. For that, we are incredibly grateful; we do not feel there is more we would want to ask.

Should you really wish to contribute something extra, here are a few charitable causes that we feel are doing important things, and that make every bit of financial support count – especially in these times of increasingly limited budgets:

Kids with Vision
Started 10 years ago by Libby's very dear friend Faiz, who would love to come but is in India working on the charity, Kids with Vision is an organization to help prevent childhood blindness. The surgery they are now funding and the way they have changed children's/people's lives has been more than inspirational to watch.
ACLU
Union of Concerned Scientists
Your local NPR station
Any charity or organization local to you that you feel does valuable work in your community

We will likely also be collecting for a "Libby & Andrew Asia travel fund" for an upcoming trip – tips, recommendations, things not to miss, hidden gems etc. especially appreciated!
