Sorry if it isn't...I saw someone else talking about their trip there, and it kind of made me want to do the same.

I can understand. Sometimes I want to do the same, but my art is not good enough to be commissioned. Hopefully when I can make a living out of something I can donate to a charity.

I believe it's acceptable, the only thing it says about money related stuff is how much the servers cost etc.

Even if your parents don't want you to support a charity, you can always help by pushing on others - Viinca - with encouragement and stoof. c:

And I fear the same, Lugai. xD
I have always wanted to support a charity by earning myself a few pounds.

You know you can kill two birds with one stone, correct?

If you're in high school in the United States, you'll usually need a senior project that'll help benefit for the community. Karakuki, if you're in both the country and level of school, you can try asking your guidance counselor if it's alright to start a charity. If you're in a club (like band, FBLA, English, etc) you can ask the head to start this charity and it'll be a group effort.

Even if you don't benefit by gaining coin, you can accept better things other than money like blankets, cans of food, bottles of water, pillows, toys, etc. Anything you donate is something that can save a life.

When I still went to church, Soar, we did things like this all the time. Now my parents don't have time to take me, so I kinda got out of touch with it. Like we'd make little Christmas boxes for them, and things like that.

So, you're experienced with it; so why not do that at your school (if you're in high school, of course). It doesn't hurt to ask your guidance counselor and such but these are only suggestions if you don't want to make your school a part of it.

I didn't think about asking my councilor, I'll make sure to do that tomorrow. I actually am in high school (Finally not a freshie! 8D) So like you suggested, I'll ask about it. There's also a charity our seniors do on their last year. They go to somewhere in the US and rebuild houses and stuff for people that can't afford it. I think last year they went to Philadelphia.

It looks like someone's a softie [sophomore]! Many of the clubs in my school do these sorts of charities every season or randomly but they usually revolved around giving gifts and can of foods to those struck by natural disasters (ironically, we're being hit by a hurricane now.)

My school never could do those types of activities because we're plainly to cheap, in my opinion. Anyways good luck on this; I need to work on my own senior project with my friend for bullying awareness.

Have a nice day and good luck,
-Soar.
