INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Supporting organizations that care for the education, health, and welfare of Indian children will help the next generation desire to save its tigers. Education helps to break the cycle of poverty by giving Indian children a chance to get employment in fields that pay adequate living salaries. You can do this wether you live in India or abroad. Most of the same organizations listed in Method 1 perform some sort of education work to keep the next generation of Indian citizens motivated to care about their tigers. For example, WWF-India hosts awareness programs specially designed for schoolchildren, in schools located both near tiger reserves and in cities. Poverty is a major cause of dwindling tiger populations in India. The problems the tiger faces are those of ignorance and poverty: people in surrounding villages are living hand to mouth, and many give in to the temptation to make money by supplying tigers to the black market. There is a market for tiger organs to be used in Chinese folk medicine. For example, tiger brain is used to treat pimples and laziness. There has been a rise in Asian upper class affluence, a class that can afford the expensive Chinese medicinal treatments. As this class has grown in size, so has the demand for tiger organs. The Environmental Investigation Agency believes one tiger is killed each day for its use in Chinese medicine. You can help relieve Indian poverty through organizations like the India Village Poverty Relief Fund, which starts social justice projects for villages in India. If you already live in India, you can find local poverty relief organizations like churches and give money to assist their efforts. If you live in India, it is easy to find organizations that you can volunteer with to help relieve poverty or educate those who live near tigers. If you don't already live in India, there are opportunities for people to go teach and do relief work there. You can join these relief organizations and do work as a volunteer to help relieve poverty, sickness, and any number of other issues. Your work will help the impoverished in India to feel less pressure to get a quick buck through tiger poaching. You can join the medical relief efforts of Foundation for International Medical Relief for Children. You can join Sankalp Volunteer and choose from a variety of projects. If you work for a corporation in India, you can encourage your executives to partner with WWF-India through their corporate partnerships program. Perform a search in Google to find other volunteer opportunities in India, whether you already live there or not.

SUMMARY: Send money to educators in India. Send money to relief organizations. Offer to go yourself.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If a clinic only offers IVF treatment or pushes it more than other options, then you might need to look into other clinics that are open to all options. Less expensive options include timed intercourse or oral medications that stimulate ovulation, like Clomid. Many OB/GYNs can offer these treatment options, so you might want to start by getting these treatments done by them before you move to an infertility clinic. Choose a clinic that offers male infertility programs as well. Your doctor will usually require a semen analysis from your partner before performing any treatments or giving medications. However, there are rare instances in which male infertility is discovered after the woman has been receiving fertility treatments. Starting out at a clinic that offers male infertility services or having your partner visit a urologist will prevent you from having to switch clinics if a problem is discovered later on. When choosing a clinic, you want to make sure all the doctors are board certified. Having board certification ensures that your doctor has the training and practice to perform the procedures. Make sure your doctor is certified by the American Board of Obstetrics, and has a certification in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility. Scheduling an initial consultation appointment is a must. Think of this initial consultation as a job interview where you are the employer. It will allow you to get a sense of the fertility clinic's services and their nurses and doctors. You want to choose a clinic whose doctors and nurses genuinely care about your outcome. Questions to ask your doctor are: What are some reasons for why my partner and I haven't conceived yet? What tests do we need or do you recommend? What treatment do you recommend and are there any side effects? If your recommended treatment does not work, what is the next step? Consider the impression the doctor or nurse left on you after the appointment. Did they make you feel hopeful, excited, and like a unique individual rather than a case? If yes, then the clinic might be right for you. If no, then explore your other options.

SUMMARY:
Determine what treatment options and services are available. Make sure the doctors are board certified. Schedule a consultation appointment.
