You probably remember that a few months ago, Tom auctioned his gold jacket in aid of his Dad's charity, Rwanda Aid, raising an amazing £6,200 (as well as donations from many of you).

There's another fascinating article on Rwanda Aid's work in today's edition of the Daily Telegraph, focusing on the charity's latest venture, a home for the handicapped in the remote village of Ntendezi. Click here to read it.

And if that inspires you to give a little donation to the charity, then head to www.justgiving.com/rwandaaid.

thanks for sharing this article! what I like about RwandaAid is that the weak persons not only get some money, I like that there are helping hands, who shows them, how they will be able to carry on with their lifes in future. But, maybe I just didn´t understood everything right? But, I like to think, that´s like this. And it shows me everytime, that our "normal" problems what we have in this world are nothing compared to humans, who doesn´t have anything to eat, family, home, etc., just because of stupid past behaviours of humans. But, what would be life without hope?

I meant HELPFULL not helfull (sorry). oh and ps: not only giving money is the solution. Me, for example, I'll help on the distribution of meals and clothes this year. There's always something to do

Posted by Ju on 2009-11-16 18:27:44

You guys have a big heart. I wanna dare KM to make something inspired... I'm just a random girl telling you this but if anyone even bother to read this, I suggest this year everyone should save some money to give to needing people. I will instead of buying something expensive for me... I'm not saying to quit on gifts, I'm just telling we should share and reveive other gifts beside material ones - the hapiness of being helfull... everyone would be more open to this if you opened a contest near Christmas time where each one would tell their donation/action to help someone. As I said, it's a suggestion... Every Keane fan must be inspired with all this years you have cared about people that we can help and make a diference. Thank you for doing this. It's really amazing. have a nice week! The rain has come now... makes me sing Maybe I can Change xD (rain rain will you ever go away) ***

HELOISA, ISA FROM BRASIL, SAO PAULO ********** THANK YOU. I think this is something very important to the needed people of the world, we here in Brazil also have lots of poor people who need some help from those who have the blessing of having more than we need to have a decent life, so, I am for these actions for the best. Thank you. Congratulations to Chaplin family and all who are doing their best for this cause. LOTS OF LOVE TO MY FAVOURITE BAND! XXXXXXXXX

La ammiro veramente tanto caro signor David Chaplin per tutto quello che stà facendo per questi sfortunati bimbi del Ruanda . Sono sicura che il suo aiuto nel tempo darà moltissimi frutti , la ringrazio di tutto questo dal profondo del cuore , un saluto a lei e al suo altrettanto generoso figlio Tom , un abbraccio da Sabrina da Catania .

Posted by Sabrina v. on 2009-11-16 10:55:09

I will support Rwanda Aid whenever I can, we really should stop and think how much excess we have when some people dont even have the basics every human being deserves, its a good feeling knowing you are helping someone especially at this time of year. Good luck for the future Rwanda Aid. x

Thanks for the update. I donated a few months back to this very worthy cause. Maybe the Keane boys could put a few more items up for auction. Tim, if you have anything to sell I would be more than happy to bid, I think maybe a sock would be within my budget ;). David Chaplin, keep up the good work, you are an inspiration. x
