to post N17: I think your contribute is great, but I also loved the idea of just a fresbee, money is sooo important for us but a nice fresbee match can give a great time to a group of kids! It is more part of our culture that only money makes us happy!
Anyway...I wish you a nice flight!

to post N18: thanks, I really appreciate your offer, I will let you know...

#17, tell you what, you bring your chequebook and I'll bring the frizbees, covers all the bases.

BTW, I do contribute, gf's sis just suffered dengue, my brother and I paid for most of the hospital stay and meds among other things. I've spent a fair amount of time in her hometown and I can tell you amongst the locals anything is appreciated.

Hi,

No problem, No.19. I reckon one of us stand a good chance of delivering it for you. By the way why are folks here giving cognisance to the idiot? My particular group has half its volunteers in NYC and half in the Philippines.

Money actually is useless the things it can buy quite a different story. Anyone that feeds, shelters, clothes and interacts with those who need it is contributing. Toys helps. I witness folks who work hard, give cash and bring toys like frisbee's and balls with them. Even donate MP3's and the like. It all helps.

Hi,

On a good day even, some folks are a pain, and today ain't a good day. Build new houses, doing it right now, donate cash and take a frisbee and interact at lunchtime with kids who have nothing else, doing it now.

Apologies for the idiot remark, to be one takes a little effort and sadly that is obviously lacking within total morons.

I get your point of view, prosecutor, I agree with Brax but overall I think that this is not the goal of the travel forum...
I can picture in my mind a table with some beers and this debate could be a very interesting discussion point!
