Happy Red Nose Day!

It has been 30 years since Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry founded Comic Relief. Maybe they did not think about the importance of that decision, but nowadays, this British charity has became the major one based in the UK. Thanks to all the hard work, Comic Relief has raised over £950 million in all these years.

How can they do that? Very simple. The Charity has the "Golden Pound Principle". It means that every single penny donated, it is spent on charitable projects. The workers, and costs are covered by private sponsors. So, when you make a contribution, you know that your money is not going to be wasted.

Besides, Comic Relief organises two big biennales. Sport Relief and Red Nose Day. 

Today, and since it was first launched in 1988, is Red Nose Day. Every two years, people have the opportunity to have fun at work, home, school or uni while they help the needed.

Imperial War Museums

The Imperial War Museums reopened on Saturday, to mark the centenary of the World War One, after completing the first phase of its plan. We had to wait six months but the £40 million project, designed by the architects Foster and Partners, is concluded. 

Prince William and David Cameron officially opened the IWM and the new "First World War Galleries" last Thursday.

IWM, formerly called the National War Museum, was founded on the 5th of March, 1917, and the museum was opened in the Crystal Palace by King George V, Prince William great-great grandfather, on the 9th of June, 1920. The Duke of York, later known as King George VI, reopened the IMW on Lambeth Road, its present location.
