'Tis the season to be jolly! It's also a time for giving and remembering others.
My short time spent in the Philippines made me realise how lucky we are in the West and how often we take that for granted. Can you imagine you and your family having no clean water, no sewerage, no electricity, no healthcare, no education? Can you imagine if your house was made from other people's rubbish? Imagine if you only had rice to eat, sometimes? There are countless millions of children who live like this across the world. The photo opposite is one I took of a shanty town in Manila in October 2006. Can you imagine living there?
If you can't, then please give what you can this festive season and hopefully we can help make a difference to a child's life somewhere in the world. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. I chose the charity UNICEF because it's non-partisan, knows no country boundaries and works toward sustainable development. Many thanks for your support!
I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, happy New Year!
