      I donate monthly to UNICEF
      I've also worked for Amnesty International for half a year or so.

      Apart from that I buy fair trade products regularly which is probably one of the best ways of 'giving' charity in my view.

          People do realize people who belive otherwise will need more than that to change their opinions right? I think I have a slight idea of why you are saying this but even I would much appreciate some more info.
          Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
          The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
          The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila

              people should buy their food as locally as possible, better for the environment and the local economy.

                  The ACLU dares to create a more perfect union — beyond one person, party, or side. Our mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees.

                            BTW, "fair trade" products and the fetish for locally produced food are both retarded.
