Kids Raising Money - Bad or Good?

120,000 norwegian kids are today raising $46 each to help in the fight against human traffic. The money raised ($5.5 million) will this year go to fund projects in Brazil. Every 16 year old in Norway is working to raise their $46 and this happens once every year.

Any other countries doing this? To be hounest, when I was 16 I hated to be forced into working to bring in the $46. Fair enough, it brings in the cash, but can we really ask kids to do it? A bit annoying to have kids on the door all the time asking for donations.

This charity thing is going on all the time. Last sunday we donated a total of $21.2 million to fight violence again women. I would be happier if the government just donated the cash instead to be hounest. Getting a bit fed up of people knocking on my door every week asking for cash.
