I know this has been debated before but I wonder what people's views are on the subject of raising money for charity.
I am leaving at the start of November for a year long tour in South America. I havn't yet decided if I am going to raise any money for a charity. But in some ways it seems like an excellent opportunity to do so.
One option is to raise money for a smallish UK humanitarian aid charity I have supported in the past (running marathons and the like) called Shelter Box, another option would be to research a south american charity which I might be able to visit on my trip.
Another option I thought of is to raise money when I return for particular practical things (like musical instruments, schools equipment or bikes) and give the money to trusted contacts (maybe school teachers etc I might meet on the way) to buy the things locally in the most needy areas.
