Days 20-26

As well as filling up your WEE BOX, which will help SCIAF to make BIG changes to people living in poverty, there are many wee things you can do to help make BIG CHANGES in the world we live in.

Some you might be doing already, some you might never have thought of, but read on and we hope that at least some of our 40 days of Lent will inspire you to get involved and make BIG CHANGES in as many ways as possible!

Click on the links to the left to find other ways to make a difference during the rest of Lent.

Day 20
Go to www.theweebox.org/beinspired and read some inspirational quotes to keep you going for the rest of Lent!

Day 21
When brushing your teeth, turn off the tap rather than leaving it running. Every year 1.6 million people die because they don’t have access to safe drinking water and 90% of them are under 5 years old.

Day 22
Turning off all your appliances at the wall instead of leaving them on standby saves energy. Put a £1 in your WEE BOX if you left any on today.

Day 23
Sign up to be a SCIAF campaigner at www.sciaf.org.uk/campaignsignup - we’ll keep you up to date on the issues and help you to get involved!

Day 24
Organise a fair trade tea party and donate the funds raised to SCIAF’s Lent campaign.

Day 25
Take five minutes today to write a letter to your MP, asking them to support a strong Scottish Climate Change Bill.

Day 26
Organise a clothes swap party. Invite your friends round; ask them to bring clothes they no longer wear. Then swap items instead of buying new clothes. Recycle your wardrobe!
