Travel Bloggers Join Forces for Mega Giveaway to Build a School in Cambodia
One of the things I enjoy more than anything else that comes out of this blog is when I have a chance to use it to make a difference in the world. A year ago, with just one post to our readers, we helped provide over $1000 worth of school supplies for NYC children who had none. This weekend we are hosting (with A Child Grows in Brooklyn and Kidville) a toy swap which is not only going to be lots of fun, but promises to provide hundreds of toys for children this Holiday season. Now I have a new opportunity that I am very excited to be part of and you should be excited too because it involves great prizes.

Passports with Purpose
Passports with Purpose is a fundraiser where travel bloggers from around the world work together to raise money to do one good thing. This year the object is to raise $13,000 to build a school in rural Cambodia where there is much more hope than opportunity. We hope that by building a single school we can provide opportunities and alternatives to the harsh realities that children there face from extreme poverty there.
The founders of Passports with Purpose have come up with a fun and unique way to raise the money needed. Each of the dozens of blogs involved will do a giveaway. Expect great prizes from hotel stays to video cameras to high-end travel gear. The main Passports with Purpose site will link to all the many giveaways. Browse through and pick some to enter. For each entry a donation of $10 is recommended. The drawings will be held on Dec 21 and announced on January 5, 2010.
