Do you need some encouragement?
When I was a student I agreed completely with the idea that everyone should give a percentage of their income to charity.
I hoped that by the time I had children it would be normal to pay a percentage for housing, a percentage for education, etc, and a percentage for charity.
But people are too greedy.
Are you one of them?
Or are you altruistic when you're pushed a little?
Well, you can help yourself from this day on.
You can shop with AidMaker.
It's a small piece of software you can download from www.eengoedezaak.nl.
That's a site of aGoodCause.com.
You might have heard about this global organisation.
It's a partnership of 700 important NGO's, like Save the Children, the Red Cross, Oxfam, etc etc. They all work towards a better world for nature and all living beings.
With AidMaker you can shop at 5000 online shops and generate funds for these charities.
When you buy something at these shops, you'll pay the normal prize, but the retailer donates part of the money to the cause you have chosen. 75% of the total purchase will be donated.
There's no need to do something yourself.
After installing AidMaker and choosing the cause you want, all the rest is done automatically.
Ofcourse you can change the cause whenever you want to, but there's no need.
The system is just launched in 8 countries: America, Great Britain, Denmark, Italy, Germany, France and The Netherlands.
You can choose your own language at the site, where you can find more information.
I hope you too want to participate this way in generating funds for charities.

This sounds like some really great software! Thanks for keeping me in the loop.
I like being altruistic, but sometimes I can just afford to get by. This is such a clever idea to help us make purchases for ourselves but help others at the same time!
Giving to those who are less-fortunate is definitely very important.
Now a days 98% people are greedy in this world. they are bothering about completing their needs, increses according to income. There are very few people who can donate to charity. Any way I also like to be altruistic.
Thanks for software info.
What a graet way to meld cunsumerism with charity. I definately look into it.
