4th of December - Found-rising Birthday Party!!

This is actually how this people of charity:water started, by donating their birthday. Maybe I am a little biased, but I really like the idea. And that is exactly what Donata Liuzzi, Friedi Heuk, Julie Bara and Andres Alvarez kindly decided to do this weekend. They requested everyone going to their birthday party to bring their present in cash, so that the total amount can be donated at the end of the party to the charity:water!

Something funny I have seen around this is that even if everyone is exited and liking the idea of donating the money of the gifts, there is still this feeling of giving a present, a something, to the actual guy/girl having birthday. We all know that the presents between friends are not about the money. They are more about the challenge to find something they like, to show that we know that specific thing about them that made us find the perfect gift.

Well, here is the challenge I post for those going to this birthday (and hopefully for other birthdays): find something meaningful, representative, special AND CHEAP to give as a present. Then, give the rest of your gift-budget in his/her name to the foundation! it doesn't have to be this foundation of course, but we wouldn't mind ;). I am pretty sure the receiver will appreciate your gift, your efforts on finding something, and the fact that his birthday contributed to a good cause.
