Yes, I do wonder if I should jump in, but you know... yesterday I gave £10 to help a charity put water taps in a part of Africa that doesn't have safe drinking water, so the kids have to walk miles every day to get water. And because of that, they miss out on school.

The day before, I gave £10 to help reduce elephant-human conflict where they're shooting elephants raiding crops. It's supposed to save elephant populations by erecting secure fencing, while protecting the poor farmers' food source and livelihoods.

If I have a spare tenner, I feel more inclined to give it to these things. Medium folk already get paid for my reads. But I know, we all like to earn a bit more.

Maybe one day. Today is not the day.
