Sunday 20th November 2011 was Universal Children’s Day, as selected by the UN to celebrate childhood and help promote child welfare across the world. We all know and understand the importance of children but sadly the welfare of children in the developing world is far from where it should be.
Father's day is just around the corner, did you forget?! I didn't, and ended up chipping in with my brothers on a £250 European Tom Tom for my dad, who has never, and will never, drive around Europe. You do the math!
THIS Easter, why not treat a friend or a loved one to an Action Aid Gifts in Action chicken? Now, you might be sitting there thinking, what on earth am I going to do with a chicken. But this is no ordinary chicken! No need to pluck or feed this one, as what you'll actually be purchasing is a vital source of both nutrients and money for a family in desperate need of your help. The eggs provided by your gift of a chicken will not only provide a fantastic source of food, but can also be sold at the market to help pay for medicine and school fees.
