The Giving Tree Project is your answer! You purchase a fruit tree in the name of your loved one, they get a card about your purchase on their behalf; then when the tree is given to a new baby in Haiti, they receive a photo of the tree with baby. The tree is planted and when the baby reaches school age, the family sells some of the fruit to pay for school tuition. Additionally, the family uses some of the fruit for food stability. As an added bonus, the roots help retain the soil from eroding, which is a huge problem in Haiti after years of deforestation by France and the United States. What a great way to give someone with a great big heart a gift that gives to so many!
