  Charity

  By definition, charity means the voluntary giving of help. It comes in all shapes and sizes. You walk down the street and see people giving their time to fund raise for a particular charity. You hear stories of the ones who have remarkable skill in certain areas of expertise lending their know-how to charitable organisations. You also hear stories of unknown heroes who share their hard earned money with the less fortunate. All these acts are relative to what each individual has to offer. So whether the contribution is big or small, every little bit counts!

  But the act of charity is nothing without those who care enough to want to form an organization whose sole focus is to help the needy. To those special people who organise, plan and sacrifice what they have to do this we salute you. Recently we let you guys know about a charity event the team at stinkythepig participated in. We donated some of our wonderfully cute plush toys toward a silent auction. The proceeds of the auction would go toward an organisation called charity:water. They specialise in providing sustainable drinking water solutions to developing countries.

  We have heard back from the organisers of the event and have been told that they managed to raise over $2000 for this charity. There were even stories of people fighting over the stinkythepig plush toys because they were such a big hit. We as a team are so proud to have the opportunity to be a part of something worthwhile and extremely rewarding. It is always a good feeling knowing you have contributed toward a good cause.

  Speaking of good, we recently completed another product and will look to post it on the website for everyone to see! We will post it next week so stay tuned because we look forward to sharing it with you!

  Water changes everything

  It’s amazing to think that some people around the world would trade whatever treasures they possess for some clean drinking water. But for most of us, the thought of not having drinking water readily available would be almost too farfetched to fathom. We even go as far as paying $4 for a bottle of water that most possibly originated from the same tap we use to water our gardens. Fact of the matter is, there are people who are starving and people who have never tasted a drop of non-polluted water – this is a reality that we believe is unacceptable and one that needs to change.

  As people, when we stare into the face of a problem so wide spread and ginormous in scale most would tend to shy away and say that these problems are above them. Imagine if we put all of these people on a plane and told them to give one bottle of water to each thirst-stricken mother, father or child; the problem would almost not exist. And that is what the great people at charity:water are doing. They are facing the problem and saying that they can make a difference and they can be the pioneers and catalyst to change world for the better.

  So how is the team at stinkythepig involved? And what are we doing about it? We have donated some of our merchandise to the cause. A friend of ours is hosting an event where our merchandise will be auctioned off with all of the proceeds going to this worthy cause. We look forward to attending the event and showing you more of what took place. In the meantime, please take the time to visit the webpage of charity:water and see what they have been up to.
