Dear_________________,
To let you know that I am thinking of you on this special day, I have purchased a gift from the World's Most Useful Gifts catalogue in your name for some of the world's poorest people.
This gift will train a small community in India, Kenya, or Bangladesh in new agricultural methods, and it will provide seeds and simple agricuitural equipment. Just 20% more produce will mean the difference between sickness and health, and between families going hungry and families providing for themselves.
From,

Suggested Answers
Activity 1
It's a charity programme where someone gives a gift to someone in need, in the name of a loved one.
Activity 2
1 If you buy one of these gifts for a special person, useful things can be given to people who need it as a voluntary contribution in his or her name. Both of you do good things to people who need help.
2 It would help them do some business like sewing to earn extra money for their families.
3 School books, basic adult education, one year of primary schooling, and a community primary school are related to education. These can give the poor access to schools, teachers, and education supplies.
4 Four. They are child vaccinations against six killer diseases, basic health-care services, nutritional supplements for a family, a set of books on health and medical care.
5 Gifts help support families include three months' water supply, nutritional supplements, assistance for families headed by children. Gifts support whole community include a community primary school, a village tractor, a well and water pump.
Activity 3
1 Any way to help the poor is a good way, I guess. Sometimes we just do not know what is really helpful for those people. This way provides a lot of options. You can easily see how your money can do to the poor.
2 I think a microloan is the best gift by far that can be given. It needs to be paid back before more money can be received. Let the people receiving the money decide how it will be invested. Any profits from the result of the investment—whether it is in a sewing machine, a new oven, etc.—can then be used to buy whatever the person thinks he or she needs.
Activity 4
1
Help for schools: money for a volunteer teacher or printer/computer to make materials
Help for teachers: stationery, helpful internet resources; recommendation of useful apps or other resources
Help for families: nutritional training, overviews of universities or colleges, tips for reducing stress
