I would agree with Rosie when she suggested you get involved with other people. There are many worthwhile charities that need people to get involved, to raise money and to raise public awareness. I wouldn't suggest getting involved for what you can gain. If you get involved in any enterprise it must be something that excites you or makes you angry. Any benefit to you should be a side-effect and not your primary purpose. Can I suggest a specific idea - helping the children in Romanian orphanages. We have a well known singer from Donegal called Daniel O'Donnell (he has toured in Australia). Well Daniel was asked to visit a Romanian orphanage a couple of years ago, which he did, and he was shocked by what he found. He made a video of his visit for television and it would move you to tears to see the conditions these children live in and their lack of hope for the future. It made him angry. Daniel has since raised a lot of money to build special half- way houses and continues to be very actively and personally involved with a particular orphanage. He is continually rallying his many fans worldwide to help him. If this interests you I can get you more information. He's not a bad singer either, my wife's a devoted fan, she has every tape, video and pictures on the bedroom wall. good luck jaylink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
