PORTLAND, Ore., Dec. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- There are many people on your shopping list this year, which is great because there are many people on Mercy Corps' list too: families in the Philippines who need shelter; students who are excited to go to school in Sudan; youth in the Middle East seeking start-up loans for their businesses; and children in Syria who are recovering from trauma.
