Helping Schools
So here's the deal everyone. I know that many of you are NOT impressed with some of the things that sixapart and LJ have been doing as of late but in my opinion...they have done something AWESOME right now. They are participating in the "blooger challenge" with Donors Choose. For those of you who don't know what Donors Choose is, it's an opportunity for teachers to post a "wish" for lack of a better term for their school. People donate to it through this non-profit agency and then schools get what they "wish" for.
Basically what they are doing is giving away $30 gift certificates that you can then use towards one of these wishes. Now...this is where you come in. If people on my friends list requested their gift certificate and then donate that FREE gift certificate to my school we can get ourselves some computers! That is what we are wishing for. Right now we have NONE...yes, you read that...NONE and these kids need them! We'd like to put together a computer lab so that the kids can use them in the school for both word processing as well as for other great educational tools that are out there.
We will be settin up our Donor's Choose site as soon as our new school address is approved but you need to request your gift certificates NOW! You have until Oct 31 to use them so as soon as our site is live I'll let you know where to post them to. You have until TOMORROW to request your gift certificate. Here is more info on it HERE
PLEASE repost this!!!!!! I'd love to get as much as I can get for the school. These kids really deserve it!
