my parents have done that for 30 years, theyve really helped the kids get an education. its a wonderfull way to do something meaning full. i would but part of the deal with what my folks do is that they write and recive letters and i just cant be arsed.

i do give to charities, mainly ones diana princess of wales was involved with. im a brit and loved her so i do that for her.
