If we paid an extra bit of tax for every underveloped / third world country we would have little left in our pay packets. When you look at waiting lists for NHS and our own social problems I think these need addressed first by the tax we pay. Its not our problem to sort out every other countries failings. Said that I think it is terrible the situation of the orphans and would have no problem with a one off payment. I am also aware of the corruption in some of these places and so I would be worried that the money was not reaching its intended target. What is the adoption policys with these kids as I am sure there are many childless couples willing to give them a home.

I think it's a great idea Pete. If everyone who posts on or looks at this site does their bit, the orphanage will have their heating in no time! It's not like we haven't enjoyed the best the area has to offer so why not put a little something back!
Plus I think in general, people are happy to give to good causes when they know exactly where their contributions are going. We did those Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes at a month a go and the response was overwhelming. Good Luck with it - cheque's in the post!
