Whenever neighbours ask for charitable donations I usually give what I can. I have just had a visit from a neighbour looking for donations so her daughter and some friends can visit a school abroad to "help out". This is something I have donated to in the past so invited her in to ask for more information.
It seems this isn't a trip with a recognised charity, it's just the parents wanting to take their daughter and 3 friends. I asked which school they were planning to visit - not been decided yet, which country - not decided yet, how long will the girls be helping out - probably a couple of days, how long is the visit - 3 weeks, what will they be doing the rest of the time - the girls want to learn to scuba dive and surf!!!!!!
Seems the parents are just looking for others to pay for their kids to have a holiday
I declined to make a donation
