What a long, strange trip it's been with NaBloPoMo. Honestly, I am so sick of my blog after posting every single solitary day for a month, I probably will not look at it again. Ever. Well maybe not ever. I'm sure I'll be back sooner than you'd like.
Anywho, to end November with a tiny spark, not a bang, I am giving the meager sum of $25 to the nonprofit of your choice---IF you leave a comment and IF the random number generator selects your comment. It's so freaking easy it's not even funny. Leave a comment with the name of the nonprofit you choose, along with their website. If you want, tell me why it means something to you.
Thanks, readers. It's been fun.

do you know I've watched that freakin video from that hospital that you posted about 15 times. I just love it.
My choice would be a local animal shelter
What a wonderful idea: a great way to give charitably. I don't understand how you will make your selection, something complex and automated I suspect.
In Jaipur, India, I visited a school where my friend works. It's a low-caste place catering to vocationally-minded people, teaching all ages from children to young adults. A fantastic school, with excellent grammar standards in English lessons, crappy awful furnishings/decor, poor lighting and dusty plaground. The staff and students are positive, glowing with purposes and most end up employed in one way or another. The school is partially funded by a French NGO called Aide Et Action: My friend gave up her job as a steward with Emirates (or similar?) Air, to not only have a child but to work for an NGO. With many operating in India, she chose Aide et Action's vocational school.

Good luck me!
Is Nanoblomo - national nonsensical blogging month? I did not try Nanowrimo - national novel writing month: I clean forgot!
I will leave the choice of the non-profit up to you. My only request is that it be local.
Great job on finishing the month! You rock!
I will happily leave a comment for that. And don't go to far out of blogland...I just got here!!!!
Nah, YOU pick.
I'll opt for the St Joseph's Indian School in Chamberlain South Dakota. The Lakota people are desperately poor and the school stretches every dollar to the limit as it tries to move them up from poverty.
