Subways auction goodies for charity

The Subways are auctioning their drum kit online for charity. Working with Action Aid, the band (joining forces with pop acts The Tings Tings and Duffy) are selling their kit to raise money and awareness for the Bollocks To Poverty campaign. All the funds raised by the ‘Bollocks to Poverty’ auction will go directly to ActionAid’s work in Africa, Asia and the Americas. Anella Wickenden, ActionAid youth manager, says: “We’ve had an amazing response from some of Britain’s hottest bands and artists. Now it’s a chance for fans to snap up memorabilia, knowing that the money they bid will help change the lives of some of the world’s poorest people.” Just a small amount can make a huge difference, so the more money raised by the auction, the better. £10 can provide five families in Liberia with enough seeds and tools to rebuild their livelihoods. £60 can provide a child in Malawi with life saving antiretroviral treatments for HIV for two months. £133 can enable 20 teenagers set up a community radio station in their favela (slum) in Brazil. £400 can provide enough medicines and materials for one community health centre in Cambodia. £1,000 can provide education for five ex-child soldiers in Sierra Leone. Check out the auction online now, HERE.

TRAIN OF TERROR

Hostage situations on New York subways are nothing new. Why, just the other day, you were probably held at dusty boot-point by a bad mariachi band. Or made to fork over $1 for stale peanut M&Ms to support someone's "basketball team." The horror...
