my time to do some good.

October 13, 2006


Ok so I have created a pledge!

I have noticed the TEAR ad's on tv latley and wow they really hit home. I'm such a sucker for a sad ad.

Do I really need a latte each day or does a little old lady in some backwater 3rd world country need her eyesight?
Do I really need to buy vogue... ok yes. Sorry I can't give that up but we all have our guilty pleasures!
Do I really need to buy lunch once a week or does a small child need school supplies for a year?

*sigh*
my aquarius rising makes me a sucker for the underdog. So the capricorn in me got very excited when I discovered I can make other people help me! If you sign up to my pledge, not only will you be uber cool... cause I said so.... but you'll be helping the world to be a better place.

My pledge is that this year I will not buy any gifts for my friends and family for christmas but instead purchase items from TEAR australia like a goat, a mosquito net, sewing classes... you get the drift, you know those things we just take for granted....

(althought I could do with a good sewing class myself...)

You get a card with a pic on it of what you bought to send to the recipient of your gift. So instead of another photo frame, you can buy your bestie an organic vegetable garden. Dad will no longer get expensive wisky but a small business loan. (And i need some suggestions... should my stepmother get a toilet or a heifer?? decisions decisions...)
Mum would love a Women's Self Help group and Mr C... well on behalf of that gorgeous man i'd go all out and buy the Villiage Well!

SO GO! Look at my pledge. A kiss to every signer-uperer.

And if you want to see what other cool things you can buy go here.
