Another Way to Give

Here's a request passed on by givit.org - it's a different way of helping out.

We have a wonderful campaign today!!
Karuna is an organisation that brings comfort, support, care and peace of mind to those who are dying, as well as their carers and families. They provide free nursing, counselling, spiritual care, grief and loss support and equipment loans to over 500 people a year.  They take amazing care for people who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, and provide emotional, spiritual and physical care for these people and their families free of charge.
Karuna is having a fundraiser where they sell and auction BLING!  If you have any old, new or used jewellery that you do not wear that you would like to donate to a wonderful cause.
Drop off or post your bling to GIVIT, PO Box 3061, Newstead, Q4006.  We will let you know we have received it safely
.

I've been reading about micro volunteering and really like the idea that many people can be involved in donating time and expertise for a common goal.
Next up? Some random acts of kindness. Not quite sure where to start with this - I don't want to be dragging little old ladies across the road against their will!

  1. Micro volunteering - sounds good. Like the look and feel of the blog so far. Interestingly it lead me to my old blog. Couldn't resist adding a post to it - just for fun.

    Two posts, guess that means I can have two different styles out there!!!

  2. It's amazing how many people have blogs. I really appreciate comments, because it's about giving a little of your own time to encourage others. So - thanks for your comment!
