Just wanted to find out if anyone knows or is a participating member of a good charity foundation that actually makes a difference? Anyone know anything about Oxfam ([url]http://www.oxfam.org/[/url]) and how effective they are for example?

Charity Foundations
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil

My current favorite charity is 826...

Good ol' Salvos and St Vinnies make a difference. They do a lot of good work in the community.
I would be interested to hear about Oxfam though.

Second thoughts can generally be amended with judicious action; injudicious actions can seldom be recovered with second thoughts.

I just signed up with Red Cross for regular donations. I read up on work they do and I think it's worth supporting.

I hate large corporate non profits.
I refuse to donate any money to them, it all goes to overhead.
