Girlawhirl is a longtime fan of DonorsChoose.org – the site that lets her peruse the requests of real teachers looking to improve their students' lives. A few years back Girlawhirl supplied an entire classroom with new backpacks… it still makes her smile when she thinks about it. As back to school season approaches – even if everyone she knows, including her, is in denial over the fact that summer will be ending soon – Girlawhirl's decided it's the perfect time to take a look and see what classroom contribution she can make for the 2008-2009 school year… She can choose to take on an entire request, donate just a portion to a project, or spread her donation around to multiple requests. From providing art supplies to help make history come alive for young pupils to helping foot the bill for the most basic of needs like textbooks and pencils, all kinds of requests are made by teachers on the Donors Choose web site.
And to make sure the money Girlawhirl donates goes to exactly what she had in mind,
But what Girlawhirl loves most is that her money doesn't just become a nameless donation added to the pot. After her gift is delivered, she gets photos of the students enjoying it and personalized thank you notes. Truth be told, it's the notes from the kids that keep her donating year after year.
