Comments on: Children in Need http://www.insight-foresight.com/2008/11/children-in-need/ Those with insight should have the foresight to act or react with wisdom Tue, 20 Sep 2011 21:07:48 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: The Gem http://www.insight-foresight.com/2008/11/children-in-need/comment-page-1/#comment-42 The Gem Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:25:28 +0000 http://blog.ninthball.com/?p=55#comment-42 Pretty good article/idea. I also have always wanted to donate to some sort of Charity that really helps the needy...and by needy i also mean those who can't afford the basic necessities in life. I see these ads and i fear, as i'm sure a lot of others do also, that they may be scams. I worry about the fact that the money may not be going to those who really need it, or enough of it may not be getting to them...or i think, how much of it goes on these ads? cos advertising spots aren't cheap (i know, i work for an ad agency)...etc... But i think doing the research is Key...and that will be my next definite step. No more excuses. This is an appropriate article at this time..especially since the holiday season (which is all about giving) has arrived. Let's try to put others first this season. Pretty good article/idea.
