In an effort to stop feeling frustrated and incapacitated, I just sponsored a Women's group in Nepal http://www.etc-nepal.org/sponsorship.php and a female survivor of war http://www.womenforwomen.org/sponsor-a-woman/sponsor-a-woman.php.
I just finished a compelling book about women in Iraq: Sisters in War: a Story of Love, Family and Survival in the New Iraq by Christina Asquith and was re-convinced that grassroots charity is the way to go. Hopefully my unmarried, godless, childless life in the land of plenty won't be completely off-putting to these women, once we start corresponding.
