We pick a new charity every month. We don't notice $25 missing, and I am sure that if we did we could start skipping drinks on a Saturday night or a $4.80 cup of coffee when I go to work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-30120181044978704632007-04-15T12:26:00.000+10:002007-04-15T12:26:00.000+10:00Focus on Street Life.THE first national enquiry in...Focus on Street Life.<BR/>THE first national enquiry into youth homelessness in 20 years will hear evidence in Sydney Australia tomorrow.<BR/>There are about 33,000 homeless young Australians, with 9,000 in NSW.<BR/>Sadly, we haven't made enough inroads into addressing the root causes of homelessness in our society.

Back in the 80s when New Hope started, the area was just recovering from being the killing fields of Uganda (the infamous Luwero Triangle), but now the Luwero Triangle is in the safe half of Uganda. However, New Hope is starting a new children's centre to help rescued child soldiers from the LRA in a region much closer to the danger. Their website www.newhopeuganda.com has more details if you're interested. <BR/><BR/>hope that clears things up a bit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-74837036219355794512007-04-15T01:25:00.000+10:002007-04-15T01:25:00.000+10:00how did you find out about new hope? i grew up th...how did you find out about new hope? i grew up there!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-79010510732206471462007-04-14T19:04:00.000+10:002007-04-14T19:04:00.000+10:00Although we cannot compare those who reside in Gre...Although we cannot compare those who reside in Great Britain with those on the African continent, relative comparisons between those who have and those living on a less grander scale in Britain are widening.<BR/>The number of children in the UK living in relative poverty increased by 100,000 last year -- a moral disgrace which leaves The Pommy Govt's policy objectives "in tatters".<BR/>Save the children are calling for urgent action to get the policy back on track, urgent action and investment is needed, not just the piecemeal measures that have been announced so far.Vesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15390020901033513032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11610993.post-76885961197291118062007-04-14T18:31:00.000+10:002007-04-14T18:31:00.000+10:00So whatSo whatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
