One of our members has kindy let us know about a great waste-reducing initiative by Oxfam Ireland. The Pass The Present project tries to deal with the problem children's unwanted presents. Oxfam Ireland explains:The idea is simple - as the parent of the birthday boy or girl who is having a party, you invite A FEW of your guests (or their parents!) to donate to Oxfam Ireland rather than buying your child a present. In return, Oxfam will send the birthday boy or girl a fantastic Puzzle Pack on behalf of those who made a donation.Alternatively, if you are looking for an idea for a child's birthday present, you don't need to wait to be invited by the party-giver to make a donation, you might just want to go ahead and do it anyway!All the funds raised through 'Pass the Present' go towards our long-term work with children and families in Africa.If you'd like more information, check out Oxfam Ireland's Pass The Present website.If you know of any great events or initiatives, we'd love to hear from you.
