Andando has published a Christmas Catalog - here's how it works - you can buy a present for someone and give it to someone else. In other words, you buy something of a humanitarian nature to help those underprivileged overseas, and give in on behalf of your friend or recipient.
For example, you want to give your Aunt Ethyl a gift for Christmas, but she already has everything she needs, and you don't want to give her another trinket, so you purchase a feeding sponsorship for a village in Africa, and you send it in her name and she is thrilled to be a part of this effort and proud that her name is associated with such a fine endeavor!
