if you had the means or ability or maybe you already do it.....what charity is close to your heart or what would you do to make the world a better place? as for me, from personal experience i believe in and do all i can for THE MARCH OF DIMES and THE HOSPICE SOCIETY, and if i could i would feed the world so no one would ever be hungry again.
Cancer research and local hospice and I give to any childrens charity. Kids need it. Also mental health asociation, where I have volunteered for years. To do something practical I foster.
Children can't help where their life is at and some are dying for lack of food......dying! Thats my choice! If alive they have hope of better.....who knows which of them may be the one to find a cure for cancer or solve world hunger forever.
I don't believe in charities that don't teach a man to fish.
Throwing good money after bad is not my idea of making the world a better place.
That said, I'm more into donating TIME than I am money.
I'll donate my time to teach third world citizens to build a proper foundation, or to frame a house, or any other of a thousand skills I've learned that they don't have.
You don't improve people's lives by fostering dependence. This is what the USA MUST eventually learn.
But then, we want the third world dependent, don't we? That's what Empire is all about...
Well if i had tons and tons of money.. i would build a hospice to start with.. more for cancer research and i would also like to fund special centres for kids in need or trouble that they can get help and support... and last but not least special centres for parents who need support with children who have special needs... all of these parents should get awards for the work they do and a bit of relief for them would be how i would help them....

Actually I feel the same way... thats why I have chosen the charities that I have... Habitat for humanity requires the families to build their own homes and requires that they put in so many hours on others peoples homes as well.
Children's village is about raising children properly in a healthy, productive environment so that they can grow up capable of contributing to society.

i do agree with you but in the case of children , i have to step in and do all i can
We have a charity called The Citizens Advice Bureau and they help people to sort out problems ranging fron A to Z - I wish I could give them a shedload of money cos they do a brilliant job......
