Why I’m giving money to two wonderful groups bringing international perspectives to American audiences:<\/p>\n

Link TV – Global Pulse! A great series, showcasing TV from around the world. Check out the latest –\u00a0 Must-Watch<\/a> 5 minutes on George Bush’s legacy as seen by the rest of the world! Like it? Great. It costs money to make – go support<\/a> it!<\/p>\n

Next, Global Voices. Why? My latest reason is this wonderfully silly story <\/a>about a Costa Rican collaborative Christmas video, reminding us that not all world news is depressing. The opening line sets the tone: “Costa Rican online collective nosedecirlaerre.com<\/a> which translates into ‘I can\u00b4t pronounce the R’…”<\/p>\n

Plus what other truly worthy nonprofit would dare use a LOLcat to ask for your money? Support Global Voices here!<\/a><\/p>\n

Full Disclosure – I have friends working at both these great organizations. But that’s why I know about them, not why I donate. I donate because the work is terrific.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
