The Advent Conspiracy

Yes.

psybelle has already linked in her comment to the main site for the Advent Conspiracy; they have links out to a couple of water projects. The ONE Campaign features a few NGOs that do work around clean drinking water as well. It's not an area I'm very familiar with, but I think that's going to change.
Yes.

That Christmas list memething
Dec. 4th, 2006 02:45 amStep One
Make a post to your LJ. The post should contain your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. If you wish for real, possible things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa (or one of his elves) could get in touch with you. Also, make sure you post some version of these guidelines in your LJ, or link to this post so that the holiday joy will spread.
Step Two
Surf around your friendslist (or friends' friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. And now here's the important part: if you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream purebred Basset Hound for free--do it. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call.
