Charity - Volunteer Your Time

I myself have done a lot of volunteer work in many organisations. Places like the Victorian AIDS Council, Melbourne CityMission, Anti-Cancer Council, Don Bosco Youth Centre, The Salvation Army and Here for Life. They are the ones I can remember for now but I made such good friends and had so many great experiences that I wouldn't trade it for the world.

To have a really rich life giving to others is essential. That is why I have included this category. I hope you decide to give some of your time and let the organisations I have listed here help you find somewhere you can give and grow.  










A charity I support which I would like you to know about is called Sentebale which means "forget me not".  It was founded by Prince Harry from the British Royal family with Prince Seeiso from the Lesotho Royal family.

Their mission is to transform the lives of Lesotho's orphans and vulnerable children - the forgotten victims
of poverty and of the HIV/Aids epidemic ravaging their country. Please visit the website and consider
making a donation or perhaps support them in their fundraising efforts.



                                                         
                                                 
                 Donation Fact:  The top 50 donors of 2008 pledged more than US$25 billion.

The  Pratt  Foundation
In 1978 Australian billionaire Richard and his wife Jeanne Pratt set up The Pratt Foundation to support charities in Australia and overseas. It is now the largest and most well known philanthropic foundation in Australia. 

In the words of its mission statement, it aims "to enrich the lives of our community" and, in the words of Jeremiah, it works to fulfill this aim in a spirit of "kindness, justice and equality”.
