CHARITY

A charitable organization is a type of non-profit organization. It differs from other types of NPOs in that it centers on philantropic goals (e.g. charitable, educational, religiuos etc).

Have you ever worked or been involved in a NGO? What are the reasons to participate in one of them? In these type of organizations you give and offer help to others, but do you get something from them? Are there any advantages / disadvantages in cooperating with them?

Here you have some logos of some registered charities that may help you in your project. You can design your own as well. By the way, do you recognize the logos and what do these organizations do?
In your project you have to create your own charity event. Remember to include the following information:
-  Description of the event (where it will take place, people involved,which part of your own community is going to be helped, etc). Give as many details as possible.
-  How are you going to manage to get cooperators? Publicity ideas.
-  Raising money. ( Donations, tips, who is going to sponsor you, etc)
