We'll be going to Goa (a beach town) and Darjeeling (a mountain town) for our Honeymoon, and contributing to that journey will help make it even more memorable.

The more kayaks, paddle boards, speedboats etc. we have for everyone to enjoy, the better- we'd love for you to add to our fun on the lake.

In places like Somalia, drought and disease have devastated livestock herds, leaving families without a source of milk or income. The IRC has helped more than 80,000 Somalis with deliveries of baby goats, which grow to provide milk for malnourished children and help start new herds. A pair of baby goats gives a family in need a sustainable source of income and nourishment, and a chance to regain economic independence. - See more at: http://gifts.rescue.org/product/rebuilding/a-pair-baby-goats-for-a-family#sthash.GLegnSmG.dpuf

Safe childbirth, even in chaos In the midst of war or disaster, mothers still give birth, despite the chaos around them. In places like Syria, where outbreaks of violence can cut off access to health care, childbirth can pose life-threatening risks. Our teams make sure that women living through emergency situations can deliver babies safely. A kit of simple, hygienic supplies, including rubber gloves, a bar of soap and a warm blanket for the newborn, can help make childbirth safer — and happier — for both mother and baby. - See more at: http://gifts.rescue.org/product/health/safe-delivery#sthash.eFx5pev8.dpuf

Every 60 seconds, a woman dies in childbirth—often from preventable causes overlooked during pregnancy.
