Non-profit Organizations |  | | | Please Note!I have specifically chosen these companies because I enjoy the the utility that they provide. Some of the companies below provide services, others provide products. Some of the companies are on this list because I love watching their channels on TV. Whatever the case, these are not randomly chosen companies. I have used their services. You may find some of them useful. I've divided the companies into a few groups in order to keep the page sizes down. Hopefully they won't take more than a minute to load (over a modem). Plus if you buy anything through one of these links (with a few exceptions), I'll get some $$$$. | |  | www.breadandwater.org |

| | In our world, 1.3 billion of us live on less than $1 a day. 1,000 of us die every hour from hunger, and 1 in 10 in developing countries never live to celebrate our 5th birthday. Bread&Water was founded in 1999 by a group of young professionals in the New York City area who sought to use the means we had to turn these numbers around. Today, we are a fast growing non-profit, providing relief in an increasing number of countries around the world, and still entirely run by volunteers. | |  | www.breadandwater.org |

| | Cranbrook is the place where I spent five years growing up. I was a boarder and wouldn't trade that experience for any in the world. I learned a lot, not only in the classroom, but also about myself through the relationships that I built with my peers, teachers, and coaches. In fact, I would say that my time at Cranbrook taught me to learn. In addition, it was at Cranbrook that I made some of my deepest friendships and learned some of the greatest lessons of my life. | |  | www.cranbrook.edu |

| | After Cranbrook, I took my next step to Penn. At Penn, I continued to learn more about myself while learning more about life after school as well. I made some great friendships here too. While I learned how to learn at Cranbrook, I learned how to think at Penn. As a bioengineer, I had to think in a greater variety of ways than I had imagined. Mental flexibility and the ability to see possibilities and limitations were the cornerstones of my academic experiences as a Quaker. Those are lessons that have proved invaluable once I left the shelter of academia. | |  | www.upenn.edu |
