canvassers in Davis Square again

[perich.livejournal.com]

Springtime brings out the unemployed students canvassing for donations throughout Boston. This weekend, they've hit Davis Square heavy. I could stand outside the Somerville Theatre and count at least six just by turning my head.

They appear to be soliciting donations for a group called Children International. They also seem (in my opinion) a bit more aggressive in getting pedestrians' attention this year.

Offered without judgment* or comment**.







* Though I imagine my judgment of them is pretty well implied

** Though you can make all the comments you like.

My general preference is to give to local organizations, which generally solicit me by direct snail mail or through friends who are involved in charity walks or other activities of those organizations. (Example: Somerville Homeless Coalition, Somerville Mathematics Fund, Community Action Agency of Somerville, Somerville Community Corporation, etc.)
