Red nose day

English people are really big on raising money for charities. They get really creative with all kinds of ways. At the stores you will find people selling their art projects. Or if you spent over some amount they will give you token to put in the charity box of your choice. Then there are also people who are just standing with a bucket and asks for cash. On top of that they have gazillion charity shops (second hand stores) Each store displaying for what cause they are raising money, so you can choose where you want to shop. Schools have massive activities all the time. From baking cookies, to making crafts, to Olympics . In the end of each term, kids can wear regular clothing to school, but you have to bring a pound for it. Most of the time it is nice, but at times it can get annoying. (is that bad that I am saying it? ) They even have a holiday called "Red nose day" (check out the link) basically you get to dress up funny (most kids like to wear pjs to school) and then you wear this RED nose. In order to dress up silly you pay pound to school for charity. The theme in the country is "do something funny for money" Some people go crazy in their outfits, you feel like a Halloween party is on the streets.
One thing I learn though, is that when it comes to charities, English people seam to be very generous.
