A friend of mine is co-ordinating a collection across several newsgroups and websites to pool money to purchase charity aid through the
Oxfam Unwrapped website.
The idea is to get people to donate a little spare cash (or forego a small present this Christmas) and donate it to charity instead.
The idea of pooling the money means that a larger "purchase" can be made than by sending individual donations.
Alex started this off as an idea to raise a few quid - £100 would have been great.
To date he has raised nearly £1800 and has just "purchased" a "Build A Class Room" package to help get the kids on their way to an education and out of poverty.
Please feel free to donate a little or a lot as you feel necessary.
If you're not comfortable with donating to through Alex, then please feel free to donate it direct to
Oxfam Unwrapped through their website.
Details on how to send money through Alex, along with the accounts and an update on the amount raised, can be found on his website here:
