May is over... the Manifesto Movement doesn't have to be

As part of their personal manifesto, one member would like to offer a gift of $500, to be donated in honor of the Manifesto Movement.  The Movement can participate as a community, voting between two great charities that serve the world in very different ways. 

"Remember that true change begins within each and every one of us... Together our collective voice can raise the vibration of LOVE."

Against Malaria Foundation

AMF distributes bednets in the third world, which has been proven to save lives and reduce illnesses.  Childhood malaria can cause permanent developmental damage and keeps children out of school, yet many lack for a $5 bednet.

AMF has a strong, documented track record, highly cost-effective activities, room for more funding, and transparency and accountability to donors.  Highly regarded independent charity evaluator GiveWell has made AMF it's top recommended charity. 

Dharma Seed

Since the early 1980's, Dharma Seed has collected and distributed dharma talks by teachers transmitting the Vipassana or Insight practices of Theravada Buddhism, the oldest Buddhist tradition still actively pursued in the 21st century.

DharmaSeed.org makes them freely available for download or streaming. New recordings are being added continuously from contemporary dharma teachers.

About 20 percent of the almost 10,000 Dharma talks in the archive are currently available online, but more are added as time and resources permit.
