Love reading my NY Times Sunday paper... it spends the week
in a place of honor in my living room (until the next Sunday, when I have to do
a clean sweep because a new issue has arrived). This week, "Gifts that Inspire," by Nicholas Kristof,
has the annual list of good charities that do a whole lot of good with lots of
bang for the buck:
Also, at the end of the article, this notice:
It’s also time to announce my next annual win-a-trip
contest, in which I take a university student with me on a reporting trip to
the developing world. The winner will write posts for my blog on the New York
Times website. I’ve been holding the win-a-trip contest since 2006, and one
former winner, Mitch Smith, is now a Times reporter.
One possible destination for our 2015 trip is Congo; another
is India and Nepal. Information about the contest and how to apply is at my
blog, nytimes.com/ontheground. As before, the Center for Global Development in
Washington will screen applications and pick finalists. I’m looking for a smart
undergraduate or graduate student with great storytelling skills who wants to
help shine a light on neglected issues and doesn’t mind bedbugs or warlords.
Please pass the word if you know just the candidate.
Talk about service learning!
