Days 6-12

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 6
Cycle, or walk to work. Collect the money you save on petrol, bus or train fares in your WEE BOX.

Day 7
Think about how people living in poverty often feel the effects of climate change the most. Think about how you can help these people by making some wee changes to your life.

Day 8
Order more climate change campaign postcards from SCIAF on 0141 354 5555 or by emailing campaigns@sciaf.org.uk

Day 9
Fair trade Fortnight begins today! Buy your friends some fair trade treats and tell them why giving farmers in developing countries a fair price can help educate their children for a better future.

Day 10
Re-use your plastic bags from the supermarket and don’t accept plastic bags in shops unless you really need one.

Day 11
Many people in the world have become separated from family and friends because of conflict – write a nice postcard or text to three people and make them smile!

Day 12
