Passports With Purpose 2009: Build a School in Cambodia, and Win Great Prizes!
By theprofessionalhobo ~ December 3rd, 2009. Filed under: Australia.
Last year, I donated $30 towards a great cause, and ended up winning over $150 of travel gear. If you want to learn how to do something similar right now, then read on!
I felt pretty good about the donation to begin with, so the prize was the icing on the cake. The fundraising effort was part of a mammoth travel-bloggers-cooperative-effort called Passports With Purpose, and raised over $7,000 which was donated to Heifer International.
This year, they know what they can do and they’re going for gold. The charity of choice for the Passports With Purpose crew is American Assistance for Cambodia, and their $13,000 target is just enough to build a school in rural Cambodia!
How it Works:
Simply take a peek at the prizes page, and find a few prizes you like the look of (be sure to check out the corresponding travel blogs too; you might find some good reading in there)! For every $10 (USD) that you donate, you can enter your name in a draw for one item. If you like five items, then pony up $50. And so on.
But Hurry!
The contest closes on December 21st, and the winners are notified by January 5th. With prizes like video camcorders, resort gift certificates, and valuable travel gear, you can get in line behind me to donate some coin(s) to Passports With Purpose!
