Re: Who Cares
I give to smaller charities especially reading an article such as the woman who went to Africa and witnessed the women and children walking so many miles to get their water. She came up with the idea of a 'roundabout' that pumps the water - the children loved using the roundabout, great idea...Re: Who Cares

I support local charities, but mostly I give to the local church which supports projects overseas. I know the people involved and I know the money is going to the intended parties. THe church is currently engaged in supporting local charities in helping folks in debt & feeding & clothing the poverty stricken.Re: Who Cares

Re: Who Cares
I agree, Bruce, lobbying politicians can have results. The other thing I'm currently involved with is COTA - Council on the Ageing - and I have attended a couple of forums as part of a parliamentary inquiry into barriers to work for older people and given them a strong serve about how difficult is for older people to access Centrelink (our social services) via computer and phone. A report has now been completed and I just saw that my submission was attached to it and some of my points included in the recommendations.
