Another way of contributing is through WorldVision. Last year I asked
not to receive any cars or presents but an alternative present would be
appreciated. I got apple trees, grain, goats, sheep, mosquito nets,
water purifying tablets. Obviously this stuff was sent straight to
Uganda (my chosen charity) and I got a card from each person who
donated telling me what they had bought me for Christmas. I will
continue this tradition so as some of you very kindly send me cards,
may I ask that you consider making a donation instead to any charity,
even if it's only the cost of a postage stamp, it all adds up.

If anyone is interested in WorldVision this is where you can get
further information www.worldvision.org.uk

Got a cow for mother's day (for another mother, somewhere) - for
