		<description><![CDATA[A Vancouver family of four is committed to giving away 10% of their annual gross income &#8211; and they challenge us to do it too. Their blog Guerrilla Giving reads: &#8220;How much/what should you give? That’s entirely up to you. Give what you can/what you’d like&#8230; We give money, time, things. You may decide to start with a one time gift of a dollar or a hundred dollars/an hour volunteering/a box of donuts for a group of construction workers etc. The gift’s actual value is less important than your intention to share&#8230; We don’t need to be rich to be philanthropists. Giving is something to be enjoyed by everyone regardless of income, class, or status.&#8221; What do you think of this idea? (I think it&#8217;s great &#8211; and I&#8217;m glad they mention that people from all income levels can give. It&#8217;s not just about money. It can even be a bit of conversation with someone lonely&#8230;)]]></description>
