Making a Difference
I am certain that most of you regularly do your bit for charity, by contributing whatever you can to various worthwhile causes.
I am not asking you to stop that. But sometimes there is work that needs passion, dedication and commitment. Unfortunately, these are things which money cannot buy.
This post is about a few such initiatives.
On a trial basis, I would like to create a list of ”projects” that need time and volunteers (not just money). Please be aware that none of this activity is paid. It is entirely voluntary. I will be linking the projects on this page, along with the contact details for more information.
Please feel free to send me your requests for volunteers/a link on this page if you are involved in any such activity that helps our country and our citizens - directly or indirectly.
*** Important ***
Please bear in mind that all requests may not necessarily be accepted. This is a not the page to ask people to donate to charity and requests for monetary contribution (only) will not be entertained.
I reserve the right to decide what is appropriate to link here and what is not. Note that I have not personally vetted all the projects. You should email the relevant contacts to find out more.
***
To start with, here are four potential projects which need your time and attention. I will keep adding to this list as we go along.
*** Pilot Initiative - First List of Projects ***
