\u00a1Buenas noches maravillas del invierno! \ud83d\udc99<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tonight, I'm writing to you from Chios - an island famous for producing one of antiquity's most celebrated wines (purportedly after Bacchus flew over one night and 'inseminated' its fields with his... seed!). Today I've got another fortnightly selection of social ideas for you. As ever, these are little things that have come my way over the past couple of weeks. Enjoy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Un llamamiento a las donaciones generosas: Apoyo urgente a Qu\u00edos<\/u><\/a><\/u><\/strong> -<\/strong> As Solange and I spend 2 weeks on Chios shipping pallets after pallets of AFE's education equipment to NGOs across Greece, the truth is that the situation here is much as it was all those years ago when we started. But there's less and less support available. As we sadly pack up, we're rallying together another time to raise \u20ac1,000 for two fantastic grassroots groups still providing essential shelter items, food, and legal support to refugees and asylum-seekers stuck here. At the time of writing, we're at \u20ac676 - introducir<\/u><\/a> \u00a1por una naranja en tu calcet\u00edn esta Navidad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Pol\u00edtica de caridad a la que sonr\u00edo para no llorar: Catholic Relief Services Discriminaci\u00f3n LGBTQ<\/u><\/a><\/u>\u00a0-<\/strong> CRS provides wonderful\u00a0support to its staff and to their partners and spouses too. There's all manner of 'Equal Employment' policies, 'family-friendly' allowances and cosy perks.\u00a0That is unless your partner's of the same sex. Unfortunately, \"CRS dise\u00f1a y lleva a cabo sus programas de prestaciones de acuerdo con los valores y las ense\u00f1anzas cat\u00f3licas. Esto se extiende a la naturaleza de los servicios prestados y a la determinaci\u00f3n de la elegibilidad para la cobertura de dependientes, as\u00ed como a la definici\u00f3n de matrimonio y relaciones conyugales.<\/em>\" In effect, same-sex partners aren't eligible. Here's to hoping este valiente empleado<\/u><\/a> puede ganar este derecho al llevar a CRS a los tribunales por este asunto.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Sus comentarios, por favor:<\/strong> Loter\u00eda de solidaridad<\/strong><\/u><\/a> <\/strong> <\/strong>- Lotteries are a big deal. So is there not scope for engaging many more people in donating to small charities by offering them big cash prizes at the same time as making a donation? ChatGPT helped flesh out this idea for me. What do you think? A sensible fundraising model? Why aren't more people doing it? Want to get involved? \ud83d\udcb8\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Un h\u00e1bito que tengo que cambiar<\/strong>:<\/strong> 4<\/a>5 d\u00edas al a\u00f1o viendo la televisi\u00f3n<\/strong> -<\/strong> Ok. Here's the thing. What with films and the occasional series binge, I might be watching up to 2 hours of TV a day. In perspective, that's 56 hours a month = 672 hours a year = 42 waking days. Almost a month and a half of my year on Netflix and HBO. Looking forward, that's over 6 years out of the next 50 spent streaming. Am I happy spending 12.5% of my life watching whatever Netflix sells me next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Funding tool I've come across: Elegir vacas: Lista de comprobaci\u00f3n<\/u><\/a><\/u>\u00a0-<\/strong> I love this not only for its playful metaphor, but because I always see small charities throwing away time on funding bids that - chances are - they'll never get. When time is so tight, and money too, taking time to strategically choose where to send an application is so important! Waste less time on wild cows and start\u00a0milking! \ud83d\udc2e (Thanks for the great find, Jude!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n \ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udcbb \u00bfNecesita un sitio web impresionante?<\/a> - check out GSF Creations, my new sustainable web design agency That's it for this fortnight.
