Reason someone once gave me for not sponsoring me on a 10 000 feet tandem skydive to raise money for VSO: 'I don't give money to people for having fun.'
What my father said when I told him I had adopted a child from Swaziland: 'Don't you think you should send him back to be looked after by a black family?'
The look most people give when I say that I taught in Zimbabwe for two years earning USD 200 per month: blank.
The look most people give when I say that I have given in excess of EUR 5000 of my own money to pay for one child's education and support in the past six years: blank.
Why not make a difference?
Don't just donate to a faceless charity. This way you will know where your money is going.
