Andrew Simmonds is an enthusiastic Western Round Table member who has been organizing charity fireworks display in Downend. None the less he is disappointed with the British City Councils wishes to offer a free fireworks event.
The annual fireworks event that takes place at the Harbour Festival will be now moved to the Downs. This free firework display is bound to take place on the 5th of November 2011.
At the same time the other charity displays will be drastically affected with this. Since the fact being is that post this free display everyone would rather prefer watching a firework display for free then pay for the same. Since the event is charity based, all the proceedings would go for the same.
But if people expect to attend for free then no charity funds would thus be gathered. This will in turn affect many a charitable causes negatively. Volunteers from the Bristol Round Table and the Rotary Club of Clifton would earlier offer a firework display at the Downs.
This was eventually stopped in the year 2008 as they ran into big loses. In this year of 2010, nearly 50,000 people watched a fireworks display over a three-day event which saw the coming together of 250,000 people in total.

“I (HEART) BOOBIES!” BANNED NO MORE
A student was suspended from the Junction City high school. This was after wearing the “I (heart) boobies!” breast cancer charity bracelets. These items like the “I (heart) boobies!” bracelets and T-Shirts support the Keep A Breast Foundation.
Keep A Breast Foundation is a Non-Pofit Organization which works for the benefit of women suffering from breast cancer. The organization works with the youth and creates awareness among them. Post the students’ suspension, the American Civil Liberties Union was furious and complained against it. The district attorney Mark Edwars saw to it that the matter was resolved right away and the student suffers no more.
The ACLU was also sent due notification assuring them of the same. He has also seen to it that the Junction City High School takes the student back from suspension. The student Stephen Wall will be back in school and without facing any problems.
In the mean while the other students may as well continue wearing the bracelets and T-Shirts as they are in regards a Nobel cause like the Keep A Breast Foundation. Incidentally, Wall had got a two day suspension and was also told to do community service. This was after still wearing the wristband in spite of getting a warning from the school authorities to either stop wearing the band or for that matter flip it over.

SELFLESS CHARITY IN ISRAEL
The world may have become a meaner place to live in, but then there are still kind hearted people who deeply believe in the virtue of doing charity. Ronald and Meryl Gallatin are among the ones who regularly visit the poor nooks and corners of Israel and help the needy and poor.
Ronald is a retired attorney, a CPA and a former managing director at Lehman Brothers. His wife has been continuously working for charity and social deeds. But then it is heartening to see such people, highly qualified and prolific millionaires doing such self less service.
Over the years the couple has managed to generate a massive donation of about $4 million from friends and also about $2 million of their own money. They even assure donors that the entire sum donated is going to charity.
More and more people are now interested in looking into such matters when on their trips to Israel. The awareness has simply increased ten folds in them. Bar mitzvah boys and bat mitzvah girls come along with their parents to tour projects. This is to teach them the values of social responsibility.
Young couples and religious leaders are all coming to the nation to do social service and help the people. Arnie Draiman, a travel guide also deeply believes in this and helps tourists as such as the Gallatins in their quest for charity and helping the poor.
The attraction of Draiman’s tours is the word "tzedakah" which means an ancient Hebrew phrase “righteousness," "charity" and "justice."
FLIP Project in Gibraltar encourages students to face social responsibility by actively participating in charity projects and working for community development.
