Carry for Kids

History:

"Carry for Kids aims to educate and assist other travellers wanting to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged children. Next time you are preparing for a trip overseas take a few minutes to pack for the children and let their joy be your ultimate travelling reward."

Sponsored by Venture Holidays, Carry for Kids is a site which tells you how you, as a traveller, can make a difference to children in countries like Bali, Cambodia, Nepal, Thailand or Vietnam. Brenton Whittaker has worked out this scheme so that orphanges will get the much needed goods efficiently because you, the traveller, are reliable. We need more initiatives like this and a site like GiveThing (see right) where it is co ordinated so that we, the travellers, can make a personal contribution to a survival network to people in trouble. The will is there, that has been made clear time and time again so now we just need to make it routine.
