You keep hearing about impoverished Third World countries, who is first, who is second and is there a Fourth World??

I have a burning desire to help orphans/abandoned children in third world countries. I was wondering if anyone has any information on how I could best do this.

I do not have much money myself to donate, but I wish to raise money for charity, but which is the best one?? Which can do the most with the money?

I have small children so I can’t volunteer at the moment, (although I am looking into it for the future,) but I also have lots of clothes they have outgrown. I used to give them to charity shops here but have since read articles that seem to raise te question of whether or not all the benifits are actually getting through.Therefore, the best stuff I want to sell on ebay, (with profits going to charity,) but does anyone know if there are organisations that will send the other bits, (all good quality, just not named so wont fetch much) directly to the children that need them? I have looked online and have so far only seen projects in the US.

Any help/ideas/info appriciated
I am from the UK. And by ‘projects in the US’ I mean people dispatching goods from the usa. Not projects that I dont want to help.

I’m wondering what degree would allow me to help small villages in developing countries.

What I would like to be able to visit a third world country and improve the lives of local villages. I want to be able to design and build hospitals, schools, power plants, residential houses, roads, basically anything that can help improve lives.

I don’t expect to be able to do all this myself, but with so many options, I don’t know where to start. I just want to be able to say I made a difference. To be able to point at a building and say that I made it happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

i mean is there nowhere in mordern life were we can get a bit of peace ? the tube is a haven of silence but it will soon be shattered by dolt shouting down their phone
i’m on the tube!!!
or other innane drivel.
can we keep blocking mobiles on the underground - please!

I would love to get involved in helping third world countries, and think it would be awesome to take a year or two off before I go to college to do so. I am not sure if there are any programs I can get into, or what the requirements are.. I am only seventeen but will be graduating from highschool this year. Any information regarding this topic will be of great help. Thanks for your time.

Just an FYI, I like animals. I think they should be treated fairly, although maybe not to the extent PETA would like. But I do not condone animal cruelty. On that same note, first world countries treat animals like royalty at times. There are plenty of pet owners who treat pets like they are their own children and would spend easily 50+ bucks just so they’re dog could get a pampered bath and groom. Meanwhile, a starving third world child may struggles to get even a few cents worth of food with any nutritional value.

Im looking for a phone plan that can allow me to call the united states and uk with unlimited calls.

got few friends in Australia … had come across such sites in India but none for sending sms from my pc to mobiles in Australia … can anyone help ?

My mates have their uk phones, sims, contracts etc. They are passing through most southern eu countries until they arrive in Bulgaria. Do you know any company that will provide a prefix which won’t cost a fortune either end? So, calling from UK on a landline to a uk mobile somewhere in europe.

All mobiles phone who has facility to tune to FM Radio ask for insert the earphone to start the Radio. Once you insert the earphone or headphone then you can put it in Loudspeaker mode, but as soon as you take out the pin out of phone it will stop the Radio? Why so?
