    I have to do two weeks voluntary charity work in December. Has anybody got any ideas? I'm in south Dublin. Dev.

    I'm in the same boat, but Trinity has offered me a placement in CRANN the week I'm meant to be doing social work and I think I'm allowed take Trinity instead.

    I really don't wanna go to an old folk's home or somewhere like Cheeverstown, I'd be terrible. I'll probably just go to a Concern shop in town or I might try the ISPCA that iFight mentioned.

    We do that too.. this is just another thing on top of the two weeks of normal work. Can't really complain though, it's another week off school.

    had I known about the IPSC (Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign) more last year I would have done Work Exp with them. But then again you mightn't be interested in freedom of Palestine etc :)

    It wasn't that bad actually, most of 'em are quite funny and I'm only in for about 3 hours.
