RSPCA makes giving easy

Thanks to RSPCA who deliver bags to our houses. We can fill them with clothing, linen, etc and help raise funds for the RSPCA. Well done to all the volunteers who make this possible.
The name of the charity that assists people with vision problems (see last post) is OneSight. They have provided free eye care and eye wear to over 7 million people in the last 20 years, both overseas and in Australia. If you'd like to find out more, their website is http://www.onesight.org/.

Helping people with vision problems

Did you know that you can leave your old preloved glasses at OPSM and they pass them on to a charity that gives them to people who can't afford any eye care?
Helping to give someone the ability to see better is easy, and produces amazing results.
If you don't have any glasses or spectacles, maybe you could ask around and collect them from friends and family.
We are all reminded of the Queensland floods last January. Our thanks to everyone who helped us recover from this disaster.

Giving Again

Now that the festive season is over I'm almost back to my normal routine. Giving to help others is once again on my agenda. This week there are no giant steps to help mankind! I gave some old towels to the local vets, so they can use them on the animals' beds. Even though it's a teeny act in a very big world, I am convinced that our daily actions can make the changes we desire.
Please give what you can on a regular basis.
