7 year old kid raises more than £150,000 for Haiti

This is really inspirational; seven year old Charlie Simpson decided to raise money for Unicef (who are collecting for Haiti) by doing a sponsored bike ride. He says on his justgiving page that he is, 'going to cycle around South Park as many times as possible…. (at least 10 laps, I hope!)' because he wants to, 'make some money to buy food, water and tents for everyone in Haiti'.

So far he has managed to amass £154, 284.50 (his original target was £500). You can sponsor Charlie here

I think community service should be given more importance in our culture. What do people think: do you think volunteering and community service is valued highly enough in Kuwait or should we be doing more?
