Help Haiti Now

January 15th, 2010

Hey all, just a shout out to do your part. Have joined the World Food Programme and donated some funds for their relief efforts. I’m sure you can dig into your pocket and spare some change to help Haiti.

Haiti Earthquake Devastation Leaves Millions Hungry

World Food Programme teams are already on the scene, mobilising emergency food assistance to families, and you can help us reach more families in need.

You’ve probably seen the pictures showing the devastation wrought by the severity of this earthquake. We still don’t know the full extent of the damage, but we do know that millions of people are without food.

When a disaster strikes, hunger is often the first emergency. WFP knows how to deliver food to the hungry quickly and effectively, and our teams are working non-stop to mobilise critical emergency supplies. But we need your support. You’ve already been generous in the past. Today you can be one of the first to respond.

We will help you stay updated on the latest developments. You can visit this page where we will post the latest news from the disaster zone.

Movember or Novembeard

November 9th, 2009

It’s Movember! And although this does not apply to me, guys if you want to participate, here’s the Movember website to find out more. I think it’s a cute idea!

And although you may look hideous or wolverine-like for awhile, we girls will forgive you if its for charity :)

Movember (a portmanteau of the words ‘Moustache’ and ‘November’), also known as Novembeard, No-Shave November, or Noshember, is an annual month-long event involving the growing of moustaches during the month of November. The event has been claimed to have been invented in 1999 by group of Australian men from Adelaide.

Since 2004, the Movember Foundation charity has run Movember events to raise awareness and funds for men’s health issues, such as prostate cancer and depression in Australia and New Zealand. In 2007, events were launched in Ireland, Canada, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
