<p>We will also be highlighting one organization every two weeks that has made an impact in social change around the world. If you would like to nominate a group feel free to post a comment including their website address. Check our blogroll for a quick link.</p>

<p>Next week&#8217;s spotlight: Kiva (micro-finance for the under-privileged)</p>
<p>Thanks to a friend of mine named Duda for bringing this micro-finance organization to our attention; excellent model.</p>
<p>Just for fun: Every two weeks we will also be uploading a portrait of a famous philosopher, social scientist, political scientist or psychologist in the author’s avatar section. See if you can be the first one to identify the picture. Please post your response in the comments section</p>
