According to ancient medicine, Meringa leaves may prevent up to 300 different types of disease. Although, that has yet to be quantified, there are clearly some very interesting facts about the Moringa Tree. The non-profit, Trees for Life International, believes these tiny leaves could save millions of lives around the world. After you read a bit more and discover its nutrient packed statistics and possible applications, you'll wonder why you haven't heard of tree and aren't taking it yourself. It could turn into the hottest new trend or turn into a potential cure for malnutrition in developing countries.

My friend, Chikodi Chima (founder of TechTrotter) just introduced me to MobileActive.org. Besides the absolutely beautiful site design, I love their initiative that brings together a community of people using mobile technology for social impact. MobileActive has tons of resource, one of the more interesting blogs I've come across lately, and a directory of social impact organizations, technologies, and movements. For instance, one of their latest posts provides information on the latest Haiti tragedy and how you can donate money through text messages.
