I really love spending time with my family. Unfortunately, this does not happen as often as we would like, but in the evenings we try to come together. This is an amazing time. I wait for these minutes all day long. When the lessons are learned the next day, we gather in the living room at a round table, share news, impressions for the day.

Я очень люблю проводить время со своей семьей. К сожалению, это получается не так часто, как хотелось бы, но по вечерам мы стараемся собраться все вместе. Это удивительное время. Этих минут я жду в течение всего дня. Когда уроки на следующий день выучены, мы собираемся в гостиной за круглым столом, делимся новостями, впечатлениями за день.
In my case, I've worked for several nonprofits in the past, and became deeply disenchanted with the practice of using donations on high executive salaries. It has nothing to do with the compensation itself - it's just it's not reasonable given that 90% of the amount goes towards things other than actual mission of the nonprofit.
Due to this, I refuse to donate to organizations, and instead seek out actual people in need within my community (and surrounding areas). I need a degree of assurance that my donation will go towards the goal.
I am very passionate about kids and family.
My charity of choice is a local battered women's shelter (women and children). I get lists from them (with personal information removed) and get items which are on those lists - clothing, personal care items, presents, etc, guided by the sizing requirements and sometimes fashion styles.
These expenses are actually smaller than the donation and eliminates the need for money to enter the equation, thus enabling me to donate more often than I would have otherwise.
(On a personal level, it is also satisfying that I can go shopping but with an entirely different mindset and for a good cause - instead of pennies of my purchase to be sent to the charity by the corporation, 100% of it goes exactly where I want it to be sent to; plus, it is returning back to benefit disadvantaged persons in my own community).
