THESE GIFTS DO A WORLD OF GOOD

Give a Belmond Train Trip to someone you love could use a luxurious getaway old school style. It is the epitome of classic luxury travel, with adventure that is steeped in history.

The trains are works of art, sporting Art Deco trappings, lovingly restored, outfitted with plush, lush, and elegant furnishings. Indulge as incredible landscapes roll by out the windows.

We love the high-altitude Belmond Andean Explorer, a lavishly upgraded train that takes passengers from the shores of Lake Titicaca to Cusco, the former Inca capital, and out west to the Pacific coast. Or choose from several other incredible Belmond train journeys across Europe, Southeast Asia, the UK, and Ireland.

“Give kids better brains,” Nicholas Kristof proposes. When there isn’t enough iodine in the food supply children’s brains often don’t develop properly. “The world has lost billions of I.Q. points this way,” Kristof reports.

This is easily solved by adding iodine to salt, for pennies per child per year. You can help with a gift to the Iodine Global Network through GiveWell.
