Giving Back

I find one of the most brilliant things about the internet to be that it enables people to contribute to causes-without spending money or even much time! (Guess someone knew how skint and/or lazy most of us are...) Below are some links to a few of those sites, as well as others I've participated with. If you have a site you'd like me to link to, send me the info and I'll be happy to look into it.

The Hunger Site - "To date, more than 200 million visitors have given more than 300 million cups of staple food."
The Breast Cancer Site - "The Breast Cancer Site was founded to help offer free mammograms to women in need — women for whom early detection would not otherwise be possible."
The Child Health Site - "The Child Health Site focuses the power of the Internet on a specific need — saving children's lives and improving the quality of their health."
The Literacy Site - "The Literacy Site was founded to help promote literacy among children from low-income families nationwide."
