Child's Play

Christmas is coming round the corner, and amidst the commercialism, there is genuine goodwill in the air. It's the time to give.

The Child's Play Charity is a drive to provide gifts to children who have to spend their christmas in hospitals.

Child's Play is set up by a bunch of avid video gamers who run a webcomic called Penny Arcade. They have strong support from the gaming community, and this charity is aimed at giving gamers a chance to give back to the community. Child's Play have been running for 3 years now, but I believe that this is the first time that it has such wide international reach.

I will be donating to this charity, as I see that the Mater Children's Hospital, which is located in Brisbane, is on the list of recipients. And also, the Seattle Children's Hospital is also on this list. So friends, if you wish to give a game to children so that they can play, do go and check it out.
