Best Charities Africa

Question: How do i get charity items to Africa?

I have bought and collected toys to send to children in the refugee camp in Ghana. I am in Sydney, Australia. The cost to post these items is unbelievable (over $100). Any ideas?

Answer: sorry to disappoint you but there is no economic way. Donate them to a charity shop to sell and they can send the money. African kids do love toys, but they need food education medicine and clothes more. You can't easily send any of these and charities are the best way. I have adopted a kid in Malawi - through a charity rather than bring her home. It is a way of feeling a more personal connection.

Question: Do Liberals give less money to charities than Conservatives?

Bleeding Heart Tightwads

Liberals show tremendous compassion in pushing for generous government spending to help the neediest people at home and abroad. Yet when it comes to individual contributions to charitable causes, liberals are cheapskates.

Book Donations Goodwill

Question: Donations to Goodwill?

I have a TON of stuff I don’t know what to do with. I’d like to donate it to Goodwill, but don’t know how? Are there things they will take and won’t?? I have clothes, a wedding dress, different odds and ends, books, a very old vanity that would be beautiful if someone could restore it.

Also, TONS of beanies!! My mother in law gave my son every beanie there was for years! I now have several large tupperware storage containers full and no idea what to do with them. My son no longer has any interest in them and neither do I !

Will Goodwill take those, or is there a better organization to donate those to??

Thanks!

Answer: There is also a big market for Beanies on Ebay. If they are not in good enough conditon to sell, I'm sure Goodwill could use them. Remember that Goodwill not only provides a place for people to buy things less expensively; they also train and employ handicapped people and others who could not find another job. The whole concept is to help many people in many ways. I started another Goodwill stack tonight, in fact.

Corporate Charitable Giving Jobs

If you’re serious about finding a high-paying job, your job search speed is critical to you. You’re probably not interested in waiting weeks or even months to lock up your next job. And, if you’re currently unemployed, job search speed is absolutely essential!

You can seriously ramp up job search speed and get significantly better results by avoiding the old-fashioned methods and learning the exciting strategy of “targeting.” Outdated methods include writing a lifeless work history resume and then mass distributing it through job websites, emails and regular mailings.

The reason this doesn’t work is because you’re putting yourself right in the middle of lots and lots of competition. In fact, studies have shown that less than 8% of job offers originate from mass distribution techniques.

Instead, taking a proactive approach that starts with targeting companies that match your needs and requirements and then identifying the decision-makers who could be your next boss. This is done through careful research.

The targeting strategy is done in two phases:

1. Identify organizations that match up with your personal employment interests and preference parameters: geographical location preferences–company size–product or service preferences–business style or corporate culture–community and lifestyle considerations.

2. Single out the appropriate hiring decision-maker within each organization of interest. You do this by researching corporate literature–online information through Google–business journals and directories–Who’s Who listings–company’s website–community, non-profit and specialized websites.

The purpose of this important research is to identify the names of specific decision-makers that you could be reporting to. The reason for this is that these are the folks who will be making a hiring decision about you . . . not Human Resources or Personnel managers. And, you have NO competition!

Then you want to find the best way to approach that person directly. You may do that by making a personal phone call, or writing a letter or email directly to that person. And you can visit your next boss in person. Whatever you do, you can significantly increase your job search speed by having and following a proven plan of action.

In your communication do not ask for a job, but indicate your interest in the company because of some very specific contributions you can make based on your research. Indicate that a resume will follow and that you would like to follow up to see if a face-to-face meeting (not an interview) would be appropriate.

Perhaps the most powerful way to access the target is through people who might know him/her. For example, there are people in the community who are available to introduce you, e.g. religious leaders, neighbors, service and social club members, bankers, merchants, charitable and non-profit organizations, trade associations, Chamber of Commerce, etc. Getting a personal introduction from someone who knows your target is golden.

The best news of all is that you don’t have to look far to find a proven career plan and job search system which can walk you through the process step-by-step and turn you into a winner is as little as 14 days!
