Hi!
Just thought I would let you know what my mam does at her place of work. She's put a penny box next to the chocolate/drinks machines with a poster above it saying that 6p will buy a child in a poor country a school meal, and asks that people put their pennies in there. She empties it every so often, and 'buys' the school m eals online, think it's from oxfam. Last night she bought 200 meals, and has put a poster up today letting people know where their pennies are going.
