      no, the WLT looks after it for you, you simply get a bi-annual newsletter and a nice certificate saying you own some land (but not really)

        There's nothing worse than opening a "christmas" card that says:

        "I've bought you a donkey"

        Hey, I had a contract once with Computer Futures and did it myself...

          If you do it properly you also get the person something that costs a few quid that they can open on Christmas Day.

            Farm Africa is quite good, I bought my Dad a goat last year. They delivered to the Sudan though. What use is that to him?

              Some people are like slinkys, totally pointless but the thought of pushing them down a flight of stairs never fails to put a smile on your face.

                CAFOD were the original ones (I think), and still very good.
