Now that I’m 70 years old, I have the pleasure of being targeted with age discrimination by travel insurance companies.

Here are links to charitable organizations that are special to me, to which I make regular contributions as part of my “Giving Tuesday” Real On The Road journey.

If you are looking to make a contribution to a worthy cause, you’ll be making a positive contribution to the health and well-being of the planet and the people who live here by donating to any one of the following charitable non-profit organizations.

The Bail Project

American Cancer Society

Gunung Palung Orangutan Conservation Project

TOCA: Teens of Color Abroad

Pegasus Education Foundation – Paulsboro Public Schools

Zimbabwe Umuntu Permaculture Projects

Zimbabwe Umuntu Permaculture Projects is organized to develop thriving permaculture gardens throughout Zimbabwe without the use of herbicides, insecticides or artificial fertilizers. I visited one of the organization’s primary projects in Mt. Darwin, central Zimbabwe, in March 2022, and was impressed with the size, scope and successes being achieved at the Mt. Darwin site under difficult conditions in Zimbabwe. Over the past two years I have made donations that helped to provide fencing and livestock for the site. You can help as well.

Please make your donations via Paypal, zimprojects100@gmail.com, c/o fundraising organizer Adam Waterhouse.

Contact me on this site if you have any questions. Thank you.
