Personally, there are too many charities to choose from.
Paying people to enjoy themselves doesn't seem like good value for my charity dollar, as it were.
Coffee bean pickers already have jobs - yes they might be shit jobs but at least they're earning something. I'd prefer to give to people who have no opportunity to work at all - survivors or natural disasters, wars, etc where there are no employers, infrastructure, etc.
Then again, I do sometimes bung mates some coin if they ask but it's a woman's prerogative to change her mind, innit?
