Funny you mention that. I used to be in Rotaract (Sort of an under 30's Rotary club), and one year we took part in one of those "buy a present for a child who would otherwise get nothing" things. You see these all the time, the Junior Chamber do it a lot, and the local radio station does it, some work places do as well.

Anyway, presents all collected, we were given a list from the council social services of households where the children were in poverty. Turned up and time after time we were delivering to houses with satellite dishes etc.

Rotaract stopped doing it after this. Draw your own conclusion to this, if that was a good or a bad thing - or is it the kids fault the parents have plenty of money for cigs, plenty of money for drink, plenty of money for a new piece of string to put on the staffie...........
