STITCH

STITCH is a youth volunteer group in Sri Lanka which is 'commited to educating and advocating social change'. They are currently undertaking a flood relief programme.I really want to volunteer but I don't have the time with exams coming up. Since I am on the board of writers for The Chokolaate Magazine, a teenage magazine in Sri Lanka, I wrote to them asking them if I could start a colomn for them in the magazine. They want youth volunteers and this would be great publicity for them. They agreed to it and after a meeting with the board this weekend I will start a column in the magazine.

Their blog is - http://www.stitchmovement.com/

However, I would be paid for this column and it would be extremely unethical of me to profit from something I am doing to help this group. It would seem like I am doing it purely out of self-interest so I decided that I would donate the money I recieve for the column to STITCH. This is also an extension of my writing skills as I am utilizing them for service.
