Help for kids! What you think?

[Stephan]

Hello everybody,

I know it’s just August now and this is normally done around Christmas, but I want to know from you people out there what you think about!?

I have this in my mind since last year already but I didn’t have the place and way to start it.

Now with the classifieds section from AWF I know we can get this working out.
Everybody know there are millions of kids out there who need help, help to get food, help to get a new home or help to get into a school…

I have informed myself already about some very good and trustful organizations who need “just” some $ from people like you and me, but a little from everybody is a lot for the kids on the end.

What I like to organize and to setup with some help from you guys is a sale section on the AWF classifieds where you sell anything you like, and the sell amount will go into one PayPal account and be used on Christmas to send over to one picked out organization.

We webmasters spent $$$ every day for our business or just for our hobby, so I belief we can also give something away from it to help others.

I have setup a poll, to find out what you think and if you could help with promotion etc.
The promotion part I ask:
I will get some banners made for the classifieds donation with the title “ We help kids, the kids need our help” and it would be nice if you could find a place somewhere on your site so the world knows about.

I plan to start the official donation start on first of September until 23 December.

Thank you,
Stephan

This is a good idea, 10% of my Net-profit will be given to The Global Fun for Children

I think it will be a much better idea to set up a paypal account to which other webmasters can donate what ever amount they want and and we can have a site that is updated and provide information for each and every donation above $1 i.e which webmaster donated what. Also the big question is the most needy people are in africa and asia and latin america so we must hand over the money to some non religious non controversial organisations and in my view not associate it which a religious festival like christmas, do it on some random time. Also we can have one small banner encouraging people to donate for the charity on our sites if we like .

Hi cheeku,

I agree with you, this is just a start and need time to get it up, after everybody knows about, there can be something done the whole year around.

In first place I try to find out if arcade webmasters support it, after I can do all we need to make it perfect.

I plan also to make a website about, just a simple page with all the info need, the Auction is only one way to get $ together, any donation will be welcome also.

Thank you

Have a look at http://flattr.com/ as an alternative to paypal, its a donating system that will let you send pennies or whatever to a cause of choosing.
Ive only read a little about it, but doesnt have the same restrictions as paypal with limits etc.
