This month, the featured micro-charity is The Garden of Angels.
This is an organisation that works to provide names and legal, honorable burials for abandoned newborns. More importantly, it also does its best to make sure that newborns aren't abandoned in the first place.
So rather than just breath a deep sigh when you see yet another story of a baby's body being found in a garbage bin, do something about it. You could donate a few bucks, or link to the strengthen the good website, or to the The Garden of Angels page directly. Or just pass around the message that such an organisation exists, via word of mouth or inter-office e-mail. Every bit helps, and being a micro-charity, even a single dollar can make a difference.

Anonymous commenters - please add a signature (doesn't have to be your real name) on each post of yours. Anne O'Namus, Norm D. Ploom, Angry from Kent, Demosthenes, or even your real initials, it doesn't matter.
Commenters are expected to be polite to each other, but the same standard doesn't apply to comments regarding me.
Australian commenters are very very strongly advised to publish anonymously. Sydney alone has more defamation actions than the entire USA and UK. Nearly double that of the UK in fact.
As Google does not reliably inform me that a comment has been posted, and I have no control over first publication, I assert that all comments are innocently disseminated under the NSW DEFAMATION ACT 2005 - SECT 32 and similar acts.
