If you think that every other charity is a scan, set up your own charity - but only if you want to. As for your money - go find yourself an independent financial advisor (IFA) you should be able to ask around your trusted family and friends to find someone half-way decent. Only you can really decide what you want to do next in life - coz it's your life and for all the people who tell you to do this or that, it won't affect their life much, will it?
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
