#3 Tithing: World Wildlife Fund

Quests in Humanities

World Wildlife Fund

This February I have totally spaced on volunteering. To make up for that, I'm making a larger financial donation. Like.... "adopt" a sloth!

The World Wildlife Fund has a donation program where you can help sponsor for various species of animals (124 listed).

Small example of the variety of animals you can "adopt."

My life feels like I'm going at a turtle-pace, so I contemplated sponsoring a tortoise, but ultimately went with a sloth. My "F* It, I'm Going to Run Away" dream is to work on a sloth-rehabilitation farm in Costa Rica, like the Sloth Sanctuary of Cost Rica.

Yay! The donation comes with information about the species, as well as some other goodies.

I have mixed feelings about getting gifts as a reward for donating.

The money used to supply the gifts could and should be used toward extra charity work, and put toward needed things.
However, the gifts they are giving away are (most likely) not as expensive as people may be assuming. Non-profits often get what are called In-Kind donations - gifts of goods or services - from companies. Perhaps in this case from a stuffed animal manufacturing company.
I know this doesn't excuse it. Every penny counts in a non-profit. Admittedly, I'm being selfish.

However....

I'm so super excited about getting this fun swag!!! Ever since I saw Kamala Khan (the new Ms. Marvel, comic book character) has a stuffed animal sloth, I've wanted one as well.
