So, I decided to quit the gym (not the best choice for me, but oh well) and use the money that I would be paying monthly to the gym to sponsor a child. This is the one I chose:
Congratulations! You have sponsored Marie from Congo - Democratic Rep of
Marie lives with her grandparents, 2 brothers, and 1 sister. Her grandparents struggle to provide for the family.
Marie and her family live in a community severely affected by the HIV and AIDS crisis. In some communities, AIDS affects the entire social structure as a generation of hardworking adults is being wiped out. Frightened children and exhausted grandparents rarely have money for food, school, or medical care. Through sponsorship, you can help with these and other basic needs for Marie and her family.
Marie is in primary school and she enjoys mathematics. She helps at home by washing dishes. She likes to play with dolls. She is in satisfactory health.

She doesn't just like mathematics, but he profile says that she likes "number counting". I thought that that was cute. I chose World Vision because 87% of my donation goes towards this girl, versus only 50% or something. I feel better about myself that I am helping this little girl and her family than I do when I go to the gym. I'll just have to start walking a lot.
