Create a new database table Class and show it into Prestashop

[andrewappleseed]

Hi,
Im developing a Charity module.
In my first steps, i just add a new table to the DB.
Then i create the class: Charity.php.
In this class, i use one simple method: public function getCharities(), that will give me all the active charities (name, description, image, etc).

Im trying to understand the MVC of prestashop (like in supplier.php). but i dont know how to call the method. Example:
prestashop/charity-list.php

<?php
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/config/config.inc.php');
include(dirname(__FILE__).'/init.php');

//get a list of charities
$charities = $charity->getCharities(); (does not work).

echo "list of charities.....";


Thanks!
