saw that piece on the romanian kids on the news....

....and it really got to me.
im ashamed to say things like this never affected me until my son was born a year ago, and seeing the kids in the orphanage just lying there in their cots, puking up with no one to help them, or just sitting there staring silently because they have learnt that crying wont bring mum or dad to help, has really really upset me.
i dont usually spill my feelings out on internet forums, but bugger it, ive done it now and i dont care.
my resolution this year is to try (in some small way) to help these kids, even its just raising a hundred quid by getting my head shaved, im going to do it.
thanks for reading, i shall go away now

They've just been entered in the EU, those reforms seem to be going so well don't they.

Thing with giving money to charity with me is, I would have to personally give the money to them, and not to some organisation, so that I could see what it had been used on, and see their faces when they see the changes.

That's what it would all be about for me.

You can do working holidays to help, they pay for bed and bpard and you effectively work for free and have spare time to explore for yourself in the evening.

the working holiday thing seems a good idea to me, now to look into it further
