Comment by Annie on December 22, 2009 at 9:29am: Just a bit more on what some of the charities are all about:

•Dramatic Need.........
Dramatic Need sends professionals working in the arts to Africa to provide children with a hands-on learning experience in artistic skills through workshops in schools.

•Food Bank For New York City............
the organization coordinates the distribution of food donations from manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers and government agencies to organizations providing free food to the city’s hungry.

•Global Cool..........
Providing educational and entertaining programmes, and inspirational and upbeat global events, aimed at empowering individuals to make a difference

•The Lunchbox Fund..........

The Fund was founded in 2004, after a teacher noticed a group of students who had no food sitting where they didn’t have to watch the other students eat.

Since then the organization has helped to provide food to disadvantaged children in order to help them grow and achieve their goals

Good Work Josh!
