Fortigurn, I’m going to forgo suggesting that charity is not only for the religion and spirituality forum (a point I am sure you would agree with) by asking you to please add Taiwan SPCA to the list. They are doing some good and necessary work. I know some of the people involved and have been impressed with how much they have accomplished in the short period of time since their establishment. [http://www.spca.org.tw/](http://www.spca.org.tw/) Otherwise, a nice thread. ---

I agree of course that charity is not only for the religion and spirituality forum, and there’s already a separate volunteer forum. However, it is a subject of particular interest to many here, so I decided to collect a few links and put them here. I wouldn’t mind seeing this thread in every forum, but some people may consider that overkill. ---

Oh, I think we can overlook the multiple-thread issue, since it’s for charity!
