So today let me offer you a dose of inspiration. Every year at this time I publish a list of recommended charities that readers can support over the holidays. Last year, you all donated $3 million, and I think you’ll be particularly inspired by the groups I chose this year. [Here’s the column](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhm_3rP0TuaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMS8yMS9vcGluaW9uL3N1bmRheS9jaGFyaXRhYmxlLWhvbGlkYXktZ2lmdC1ndWlkZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQ1JmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMjAxMTIxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI0MzUyJm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTQ1MTUwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAO-t4uV_YtJv6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~). The grand prize winner of this year’s Kristof Holiday Impact Prize is Camfed, which helps send girls to school in Zimbabwe, Zambia, Ghana, Malawi and other sub-Saharan African countries (information about Camfed and the other organizations I recommend are at [KristofImpact.org](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhm_3rP0S0aHR0cHM6Ly9rcmlzdG9maW1wYWN0Lm9yZy8_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NDUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmtfMjAyMDExMjEmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjQzNTImbmw9bmljaG9sYXMta3Jpc3RvZiZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NDUxNTAmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCgA763i5X9i0m_pSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~)). I’ve followed Camfed for many years, and it’s a bargain: A year in high school costs about $150, a year in elementary school only about $30. As grand prize winner, Camfed receives $100,000 from a reader to kick off the fund-raising. One of the things I particularly love about Camfed is that when these young women get an education and end up in better jobs, they pay it forward by helping other girls get an education. In fact, these Camfed graduates now support more children in school than Camfed donors do. So when you educate a girl through Camfed, you start a ripple that ends up transforming the lives of many others.

Of OneGoal students, 99 percent get high school diplomas and 86 percent go on to college. OneGoal is now run by a CEO, Melissa Connelly, who herself lived the life of the students she now helps — and today embodies the difference a helping hand can make. The final winner is the Himalayan Cataract Project, also called Cure Blindness, which restores sight to people with cataracts in Asia and Africa — sometimes for as little as $25 a person in materials. I’ve seen many health interventions around the world, and this is one that seems magical: a five-minute surgery in a remote village, and the next day the bandage comes off and the person can see again.

It will also pay credit card costs so that 100 cents on the dollar will reach the group you donate to. My guess is that if you’re struggling to come up with a gift for Aunt Mabel, she would much prefer not another scarf that sits in the closet but rather a donation in her name so that a girl in Malawi goes to school for a year, or so that a farmer in Nepal can see again. And at least in our household, we make holiday donation decisions as a family, and perhaps this column and the related information at [KristofImpact.org](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhm_3rP0SzaHR0cDovL2tyaXN0b2ZpbXBhY3Qub3JnLz9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD00NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ua18yMDIwMTEyMSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0yNDM1MiZubD1uaWNob2xhcy1rcmlzdG9mJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD00NTE1MCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKADvreLlf2LSb-lIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) can fire that discussion.

And because we recognize that this year many families have strained finances, I’m also listing a couple of volunteer possibilities for those who may be richer in time than in money. One volunteer option is Reading Partners, which uses adults to coach disadvantaged children as they learn to read. The other is CASA, which provides mentors to foster youth. Both are well-run organizations that will help you help others, and perhaps also help you find extra joy and meaning during this difficult holiday season.

I hope you find these organizations as inspiring and uplifting as I do. Trump’s Failure to Accept Reality Shakespeare has a wonderful line in “Macbeth”: “Nothing in his life became him like the leaving it.” In contrast, Trump’s departure from the presidency is proving to be as disruptive and damaging to America’s norms as every other bit of his tenure. And I encourage you to tune in occasionally to One America News (OAN), which is now the Trump channel, and see how lies are cooked up to mislead viewers; it’s tragic but also sociologically interesting.

It is difficult to imagine a worse, more undemocratic action, by a sitting president.” I’ve covered actions like Trump’s in other countries. There, we call such behavior a “coup attempt.” Readers Want to Close Kristof, as Well as Schools Many readers were particularly indignant at [my last column](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRhm_3rP0TlaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8xMS8xOC9vcGluaW9uL2Nvcm9uYXZpcnVzLXNjaG9vbC1jbG9zdXJlcy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTQ1JmVtYz1lZGl0X25rXzIwMjAxMTIxJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI0MzUyJm5sPW5pY2hvbGFzLWtyaXN0b2YmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTQ1MTUwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgoAO-t4uV_YtJv6Uht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) arguing that it’s outrageous that we open bars and close schools.
