Take Action Round up: January 5

Volunteering is the best way to start the New Year!

• Martin Luther King Jr Day is coming up fast. In 1994 Congress initiated the King Day of Service, encouraging people to "Make it a day on, not a day off." Find a near you to celebrate Dr. King.
  
  
• FeedaNeed.org doesn't want money, they want you to volunteer a couple hours of your time. Your skills will be matched with a charity, and if you volunteer 2 hours before February 14th you will be entered to win awesome prizes!
  
  
• Architecture for Humanity involves architects and designers in creating designs for struggling communities all over the world. Have an idea for a sustainable structure? Know how to lay a foundation? Interested in going to Mali?
  
  
• Kaboom recognizes the importance of unstructured play in child development. They aim to help motivated communities build play ground in their neighborhoods. If you're not ready to spearhead the whole playground building thing yourself, find a group who is and volunteer with them, or volunteer to spruce up an existing playground.
