Not because i'm biased or anything, but ...
Just been told of a great site for all those in Australia (and anyone else that wants to help!) to search the net AND fight agains poverty at the same time.
It's called Ripple, and the basis of the site is that, if you search with ripple (its Google powered), an advertiser gets to show an add, and will pay ripple an amount of money, which it will then forward on to one of four organisations. Have a look at the site for more details, www.ripple.org, but i think its a great idea!
Will get back to regular updates soon!
