This is our very first episode on the legendary warrior society of Sparta! Throughout the series we'll discuss the history, the legends, and what made Sparta so memorable to the world.

Currently the charities we're linking are focused on helping women. The link below will take you to a website that compiled several charities. They also went ahead and gave each charity a rating based on expenses, how much donated goes to the cause they promote, and the impact of the charity. Please take a look and donate if you are able or promote the charities that speak to you. We can all do better and be better.
