A friend said to me earlier today; "What can we do to help?" Well, I had a think about it and really, what can I do?....
I decided that starting a couple of groups would be the first bit of my plan, so I popped onto FACEBOOK and then onto BLOC and started two groups, to raise awareness...
Next, I'm going to gather together from some favourite photographers of mine and hold an ONLINE charity auction... I have NO idea how, but i'm going to try...
I have started a CHIPIN group that I will promote using facebook and bloc and my blog [you're reading about it now, right?] ChipIn - all you need to do is to MAKE one of your coffees today, and not buy it, and take the currency amount of that coffee and donate it, via chipin to this Burma appeal.
I have contacted Oxfam about how I can take this donated money and make sure it goes to the right people / place. I have also been in touch with Oxfam to see who we email to get better "flow through" for aid and donations...
WATCH THIS SPACE!
[...and for the amazing person who put this idea in my head, thank you!]

Simon,
Spot on! I don't drink coffee, but I donated my weekly allowance for my pepsi-cola addiction.
Steve, First donation!!... Perfect and thanks for being a part of this... Now it's "What can TWO people do"
Thanks again,
