A Change is in the air... 20-02-2008 12:12

I've decided to change my action. I feel a little silly bailing out from my first idea, but maybe this new action might give you some ideas too...check out my story @ http://www.actnow.com.au/Stories/Do_you_have_a_moment.aspx

Planning 03-01-2008 11:50

- $43 per month
- Payment will be $129 every 3 months to reduce processing costs for World Vision
- Atleast 10 hours of my casual employment every 3 months would cover it easily (thanks Kelly!)

Essentially, a few less coffees and a little more packing vegemite sandwiches and eating at home would make everything a bit easier.

Not much else to plan since my action will be done all on my lonesome...

Some challenges 19-12-2007 10:18

The main issue that I have with my action is the possibly intrusive nature of communicating the importance of child sponsorship to others without making them feel obligated, guilty or pressured to dramatically change their lifestyle. So now I have decided that I will just let my actions speak louder than my words.

My Action Vision 06-12-2007 11:57

I would like to see more people partake in child sponsorship through World Vision, whether on an individual basis or in group capacities (e.g. in sporting teams, between friends, in the workplace etc). The barriers to participation will be explored through surveys, personal communication, blogs and so on. On an individual basis, I will sponsor a child and then attempt to re-evaluate my lifestyle to incorporate the needs and responsibilites of child sponsorship, within juggling uni and a part-time job. This is turn will hopefully encourage more people to entertain the prospect of child sponsorship.
