I am a pensioner who equips poor village soccer teams, supplies educational items and funds to a village kindergarten and takes clothing out to remote impoverished villages. I live on a pension but fundraise with sausage sizzles, raffles and second hand book sales, My local soccer clubs give me their old boots and uniforms. At least I know exactly where the money and goods go as I deliver them myself.

Thank you to everyone who has given such encouraging comments. We have just held a concert with all entertainers performing free of charge. Along with raffles and auctions we have now paid off the special needs classroom in our village Kindergarten. We are going back in October (2013) and taking 10 others with us to see the work we have done and the difference we have managed to make. At least we know exactly where our donations go. For those who say they cannot afford to support a charity, there are so many ways you can still make a difference as a little goes a long, long way.
