I like charitable things where we can track the progress. I donated this time last year and it was cool to see the follow up letters and pictures throughout the year. I think it's the best kind of charity when you can actually see things happening as opposed to wondering how much the guy in Ofxam is being paid to badger us for cash.

Good stuff, Andy
