Charity: Water

Live Drill - No water for our birthday in Central African Republic from charity: water on Vimeo.

This is another beautiful charity - their determination to bring clean water to those poor souls who have none is incredible. They could have easily ditched this video for fear it would disillusion the public and stop people supporting their cause. But, for me, showing this has must cemented my belief in their integrity and passion to the cause.

Go check it out, moving stuff!

Just call me Captain Underpants!

I have been drumming up support among my facebook friends for this worthy cause (PLUS - there's some awesome giveaways on offer this month for pledging). Everyone should jump on board and send this great charity a pair of jocks for the kids!

Backpacks 4 Aussie Kids is a charity set up to help provide some comfort to kids in care - their mission is 1000 backpacks with all the essentials a child may need when unexpectedly taken into care (a toothbrush, a change of clothes etc). With 472 bags (as of today) packed - they are well on their way!

While they are currently asking for pledges of underpants, there are so many ways you can help:

• here's a list of what is currently needed
• you can sponsor a backpack
• donate items
• purchase from their online auction shop

Don't forget you can also buy items online and put their postal address in the 'ship to' section!

So throw a pair of children's knickers into the trolley when you are doing your shopping this month - you won't even notice the cost but it will mean the world to a little kid out there who could really use your help!

I'd love to hear about what charities you support and how you try to 'make a difference'
