My Own Starbucks Idea: Forfeit a Latte

Forfeit a latte or cappacino every three days or so and give that money towards a child in Asia who will probably never have Starbucks. I appreciate a good latte as much as anyone, but I know I do not need them.

To be very clear, I really like good coffee. So I am not suggesting a pure fast of coffee, but moderation for sake of others.

You Can Do Something

• Average Cost of a Latte or Cappuccino: $3.00 and up depending on size
• Figure 30 days per month
• Every 3rd day - save $3.00
• $3.00 x 10 = $30
• With $30 a month you should be able to cover the cost of Sponsorship

I have been able to sponsor a child by using the same model of savings in other areas of the budget.

There are many, many programs out there that help children, and that is a good thing, as the needs of children across the globe are critical. One program to consider is The Gospel for Asia Bridge of Hope Child Sponsorship program. It is slightly different than some of the programs out there. This particular program gives 100 percent of your sponsorship to the sponsorship program, none is taken out for administrative costs. I really appreciate that aspect of this program.

When this life is over ...

a cup of coffee will not mean quite as much as we think it does now.

But the cost of one cup per day may very well mean life for a child in Asia today.

When this life is over ...

a dollar a day will not mean quite as much as we think it does now.

But the dollar a day may very well mean life for a child in Asia today.

When this life is over ...

we won't be concerned with our collections

But a lesser interest in our physical collections today may very well mean life for a child in Asia today.

Save the whale money ...

take your save the whale money and re-direct it to save a child, to any of the millions of children in Asia who could really benefit from the money
