Poll question: 2K Games is giving $250,000 to charity, and it's asking users how they want to divvy it up.
NVidia is chipping in an additional $20,000.

I know nothing about these charities, so I'm asking for your help. I'm putting this here instead of in the Gaming Group because that group moves too slow, I just started a PC game for the first time, and it's asking me NOW, and I have to choose NOW.

Which one should I pick as a progressive? I just barely know about Room to Read®, I think I heard about it here, but I don't really know anything about any of these, and I'd like to make a good choice.

Thanks for the input!

2. I know about the CAI
The Central Asian Institute belongs to Greg Mortensen, author of "Three Cups of Tea." They build schools in rural Pakistan and Afghanistan. It's an excellent charity, and I recommend reading his book. He's reaching out to the Middle East in the right way, rather than with guns and bombs.
