1. SHARE THE REAL JOY OF CHRISTMAS
With the knowledge that just one small gift can make a significant difference in the lives of others who have very little, it's worth making a note of Make Christmas Matter on this year's Christmas shopping list . Launching on the 5th November 2009.
2. 16 DAYS REFLECTIONS
Jill Sloan, a staff member at GreaterGood South Africa, reflects on the movement on violence against women over the past twenty years and key highlights of this year's 16 Days of Activism campaign.
3. SHARING IS CARING
We asked our Do It Day volunteers to complete an online survey to share their experience of the day to help us take this inspiring initiative to even greater heights in years to come.

Women Power
At the end of the last millennium, world leaders distilled key Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) to be achieved between 1990 and 2015. One of the eight ambitious goals is to 'Promote gender equality and empower women'. South African Social Investment Exchange (SASIX) evaluator, Dylan Edwards, expands on how the exchange works at aligning social development projects to meet this goal.
