Remembering what’s important at Christmas
This toddler, followed by a vulture, collapsed in the dirt on the way to a feeding clinic.
Luckily, the photographer chased away the vulture, and this particular little girl made it to the clinic. I shudder to think how many didn’t.
Ok folks, I do this every Christmas, and it’s that time again – me asking you to please make sure you remember charities at this time of year.
This is when many charities are most stressed, and when we so easily get caught up in our own purchases and forget just how much charities rely on donations to get by.
Oxfam Unwrapped is an Australian site I have used for a few years now, and, after seeing the photo above, have been reminded to purchase from again this year.
You can buy something for as little as $10.
Less than it’d cost to get some cake and coffee at a cafe.
Less than a movie ticket.
And it might save somebody’s life.
I can sacrifice an evening at the movies for that.
Oxfam Unwrapped America can be found here.
And Oxfam International is here.
Of course, this year I’m pimpin’ Oxfam, but you needn’t donate there if you don’t want to.
But just please remember to donate (if you can’t afford cash, consider goods or time) to the charity of YOUR choice.
There are a lot of people trying to do a lot of good out there, but they need a little bit of help from us, and can’t get by when we forget about them.
