With the world ever changing, last year saw some of the worst weather disasters ever recorded across the globe. Yet in times of adversity, the human spirit burns brighter to stand up for what they believe in and to help others who are less fortunate than themselves.</p>

<p>Founded in 1971, Greenpeace has come a long way from just a small team of activists in a fishing boat in Canada! <strong>With nearly 2.8 million supporters and offices in 41 countries worldwide</strong>, Greenpeace is dedicated to allow the planet, and ALL it&#8217;s occupants, the chance to live together in harmony.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s hope that 2012 sees more of a Greenpeace &#8216;state of mind&#8217; from not just world leaders, but also everyone on the planet to live together with each other, and nature.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="South East Asia Flooding " src="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/PreviewFile.jpg-300x168.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="168" align="right" /><a title="CAREgift Australia" href="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/caregifts-charity-gifts.php" target="_self">CARE Australia</a> emergency teams are currently working on the front line in both Vietnam and Cambodia as both regions face their <strong>worst flooding in over decade</strong>. Reports are coming in that <strong>over 250 people have been killed in Cambodia, with at least another 100 deaths in Vietnam</strong> including many children.</p>
<p>I<strong>t is estimated that over two million people have been affected in these two countries alone,</strong> as the unusually heavy monsoon rains cause devastation across South East Asia. Worst effected is Thailand, with <strong>more than 500 dead </strong>and water levels still rising across Bangkok.</p>
<p>CARE Cambodia’s Assistant Country Director, Bill Pennington, said -</p>
<blockquote><p>Our assistance to Prey Veng is part of a wider program by CARE to support over 6,000 families who have had their homes destroyed or damaged, lost assets and had their livelihoods placed at risk due to the Mekong floods. Families have received packages containing essential food items, blankets, mosquito nets, hygiene kits and water filters supplied by CARE, with nearly 40 tonnes of rice supplied by the World Food Programme. We’ve also been working with the communities on preventative health and water sanitation and health training. Hygiene is becoming a major concern for us as the floods persist.</p></blockquote>
<p>Flood levels are expected to stay high for at least another month in Cambodia, <strong>effecting some 1.5 million people</strong>. CARE charity officials has been working hard in Vietnam to distribute life jackets and relief to over 1,000 households in Prey Veng, where flooding has affected almost 79,000 hectares of rice paddies, with <strong>over half destroyed</strong>. Not only are people losing their homes, but also their livelihoods.</p>
<p>With Vietnam being the world&#8217;s second biggest rice exporter, these are troubling times not just for the people of Vietnam, but also the countries economy as a whole. If you would like to make a donation to help these poor people during their hour of need, simply click on the link below to provide a donation which will go a long way to stopping hunger and ill health from poor sanitation and hygiene conditions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not long now until the universal Children&#8217;s Day, which will be celebrated across the glob on <strong>Wednesday 26th October 2011</strong>. <a title="UNICEF Australia" href="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/unicef-inspired-charity-gifts-australia.php" target="_self">UNICEF Australia</a> will be celebrating themselves with their &#8216;Day for Change&#8217;, which will be aiming to attract more people to the rights of children and help take action for those who are living in extreme poverty.</p>
<p>Schools across Australia will be taking part in the celebrations to support the children of Timor-Leste, where up to 60% of poor attendance at schools is due to a lack of toilet facilities.<strong> Up to 180,000 children in Australia will be involved </strong>in the UNICEF &#8216;Walk for Water&#8217; challenge, which will show the participants what it&#8217;s like to have no clean water readily available.</p>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="560" height="315" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/enzJM6Vi2x4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/enzJM6Vi2x4?version=3&amp;hl=en_US" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></p>
<p>All funds raised will go towards helping UNICEF charity officials to continue their hard work in providing food, medicine, education, and of course clean water, to people in Timor-Leste and beyond who require daily assistance in these services that we take for granted. Be sure to spare a thought, and some money if you can, on Children&#8217;s Day <strong><strong>o</strong>n Wednesday 26th October</strong> this year, and help those people who really need it the most.</p>
<h2>Help Support UNICEF Australia with a Charity Gift</h2>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="Lotus Range" src="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/blog/wp-content/uploads/12298211.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="160" align="right" />That&#8217;s right folks, you can now purchase acclaimed chef Kylie Kwong&#8217;s first ever range of tableware at the <a title="Fair Trade" href="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/oxfam-fair-trade-shop-australia.php" target="_self">Oxfam Fair Trade store</a>! This amazing selection of cups, plates and bowls were specially designed in conjunction with Mai Vietnamese Handicrafts, an <a title="Oxfam Australia" href="http://www.charitygifts.com.au/oxfam-fair-trade-shop-australia.php" target="_self">Oxfam Australia</a> Fair Trade partner based near Hanoi in North Vietnam.</p>
<p><strong>This amazing little workshop was set up over 20 years ago</strong> to support street children and features mostly women. Since those early days in 1990, the company now employs the mothers and sisters of the original street children, and they are paid a decent wage thanks to Fair Trade support.</p>
<p>Kylie Kwong herself designed the graphics for her stunning &#8216;Lotus&#8217; tableware, and as you can see from the picture this simple but elegant range would make a stunning addition to any home.</p>
<p>Miss Kwong said -</p>
<blockquote><p>I wanted to create a design that was not only aesthetically pleasing but which also had great depth and a wonderful story to it. As part of my inspiration I looked towards the symbol of the lotus flower. To me the lotus is such a deep and meaningful symbol, which represents femininity, spirituality, and the importance of nature and the environment.</p></blockquote>
