By the way, there are ways we can help actually.

If we raise £42, we can buy a camal for a family in Africa . £20 for a calf, £30 for water to feed a village.

The rest of my form (apart from me, so i'm not taking credit, don't ask why either thanks.) did a charity thing, so they bought something for a specific village in Africa. You can control the money you give to charity quite well now.

If you really want to give money away, go to a local shelter and give it to the person you want to help. Or better yet, give them food, blankets, etc.

It doesn't matter whether it's a big sum of money or not, any money counts tbh. I will donate as much as I can.

I'd participate in this Good idea

Ahh, there was a chain thingy done several times in my country.

Basically, a guy got a button (normal button from a shirt), and traded it for something else (like a candy), and went on trading the stuff, until he got a few hospital machines for a remote hospital somewhere. Pretty cool, you could try doing something like that (on a smaller scale, of course).

I would put some money forward, but only if its not with Paypal. They are a bunch of money-stealing arseholes who take money away from good people (like the SomethingAwful.com money drive for Hurrican Katrina... what the eff!) Paypal = Not trustworthy at all!

I think Paypal is pretty reliable tbh.... Otherwise they wouldn't be so popular around the web.

how many times would we be sending money off to the charitys?

afaik patch donates to charity already I remember reading somewhere on msgplus.net about him donating to red cross for the tsunami victims.

Someone could make a central account and donate all the money there. Then send the money to charity. Erm .... but who should have access to the money
