Season Of Giving ....

Lately there have been more and more charity organisations coming up. Seems like volunteerism is becoming a bigger thing, which is good! More and more people are being aware of the lesser priviledged, and giving in terms of time or money.

Giving means more to me this period of time since it is Christmas, and once someone gets into a Christmas mood, it is all beautiful and warm. But of course, giving is not just during that once a year Christmas; rather it is to give everyday and beyond in whatever ways one can contribute.

Thus, here are a few organisations I checked out, mostly to do with children and animals or humanitarian. Let's make a difference in people's lives by doing our best to give!

1. Worldvision Singapore - to sponsor a child from the countries listed

2. Village Exchange - for fair trade

3. The Riverkids Shop - an online shop where the proceeds will go to stop child trafficking

4. Raleigh Society - an international organisation focusing on humanitarian efforts for victims of natural disasters

5. Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals - as stated

6. Noah's Ark Lodge - to sponsor an animal as part of fund raising to aid in food, care and veterinarian expenses

7. Mainly I Love Kids (MILK) - for disadvantaged kids and youths

8. Make A Wish Foundation - helping to make kids' wishes come true!

Also, to volunteer for any organisations, check out the National Voluntary and Philanthropy Centre. There are many people who need help and many places to go to help!
