Unique Christmas Gift Ideas Help Global Humanitarian Cause From PCI's The Gifts Of Life Catalog

Online, December 19, 2011 (Newswire.com) - When it comes to giving presents for Christmas, nothing beats the gift of a better life. Project Concern International, a San Diego-based health and humanitarian organization, is making it happen.

Operating nearly 100 programs in 16 countries, Project Concern International is dedicated to saving lives and building healthy communities around the globe, annually reaching 5.5 million people in Asia, Africa and the Americas. It is funded by federal grants and private support and has over a $35 million budget. Pushing for awareness and action on global causes for five decades, PCI employs nearly 600 workers worldwide.

Coinciding with its 50th year and in time for the holiday season, PCI launches the 2012 Gifts of Life Catalog to support global programs concerning the promotion of worldwide health and economic empowerment programs to some of the most impoverished regions of the world. The PCI Gifts of Life Catalog is available at PCIGlobal.org.

Through the creative and unique Christmas gift collections presented at PCIGlobal.org, the public can also shop online for presents that will support the organization's life-saving programs. For convenience in unique Christmas gift browsing and selection, PCIGlobal.com categorizes its items into Gifts of Hope, Health and Nutrition. Purchasers also have the unique option of creating their own gift. Once gifts are purchased, buyers can send eCards to their recipients to let them know a gift has been given in their honor.
