I've given coins (for cancer research), a book voucher (for a friend's birthday), and my time at a conference (though that's more serving me really :P). There was probably more but I can't remember them now.

Day 1: A Bookmooch book, and some books to uni

I'm not entirely sure if this counts, as I did this (and had this planned) before I signed on to the Giving Challenge.



But today I sent out a book, Coming To Our Senses, to a member of Bookmooch who had requested it from my catalog. (I'm divabat on there - add me!)

Tiara,
A great big Hey from Woodstock, Ga, USA! I am so happy we have so many givers from all over the world! Thanks for joining at such an exciting time! I am on the 16th day for the 5th round of 29 days. I hope you have the wonderful experience here that I have!
Let me know if you need any help! We did a "give" in Atlanta a month ago and gave away 100 roses on the sidewalk, it was 9 members from the metro ATL area, we started a "local" group, and you can start one too!
Make friends, read blogs, write blogs and leave other folks comments! Post pics and videos, join inner groups and GIVE! Have fun and watch for miracles to happen in your life when you do 29 in 29!
