Open letter to my Blogathon sponsors

Hello Blogathon supporters,

I’ve finally woken up after a solid 12 hours sleep.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Your support over the weekend was fantastic! Altogether we raised $1158.40 for World Vision. Woo hoo!

In total the 285 people who took part in Blogathon 2006 raised almost $100,000 for charities worldwide. It has been a really fun event, where bloggers get to indulge in their favourite hobbies for 24 hours while raising money for a good cause.

So here’s a list of some ways World Vision might use the money we have raised:

23 lambs to families in Mongolia for food, milk, wool, and breeding other lambs to sell.
OR
11 bikes to families in isolated parts of Vietnam to help them get the kids to school, take food to and from the markets, or get to a health clinic.
OR
Care kits for 16 kids who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS
OR
Tools for 7 people in Ghana to undertake vocational training and earn an income for life
OR
Improving the lives of people in need in many small and big ways

Well done!

Soon you’ll be receiving a Blogathon email directing you to the World Vision site where you can make your donation.

Thank you again. I look forward to seeing you around at ladylunchalot.com in the future.

In the meantime, happy eating!
