Sunday October 18th was ASL Community Service Day. A few of my friends and I signed up to help clean up the banks of the River Thames and we were given boots, gloves and even bio-suits because it was such a dirty job. The organization that helped supply all of this was called Thames21.
I found their website very interesting and full of information. It allows people to donate online, which I think is a very important technological advancement charities have today. Also being able to provide information to anyone via their website is something that charities in the past could not do and I think this advantage will help society to become more aware of (and hopefully become involved with) all the charities that are out there.

Hey! This is really interesting, I also recently posted something about technology affected the recent Volunteer Day. I find fascinating how the internet works to help benefit so many good causes.
