I also have a co-worker who at Christmas gives all of us in our HR department a donation through her church - Church of the Brethren; a donation in our names to a Brethren charity that provides crop seeds and live stock to “poor” people in Africa. I find that slightly annoying, not so much for the religious but political implications, but I just smile and say “thank you”. I figure she’s going to donate the money anyway. OTOH, one of these years I might turn the tables and make a donation in her name to a cause I believe in. : ),

Are you sure she isn't donating to the human fund?

actually the Brethern are great people. Anabaptists like the Amish and Mennonites.

And they do work among the world’s poorest peoples helping them help themselves and teaching them to run businesses and feed themselves. Very hands on.
