So I was away all summer...blahblahblah... came back and there was a lot different about the moon. Many friends had left, and there seemed to be a lot less activity. These past few days I have been a lot more active, and now I will show you why I have decided to stay with you guys in this awesome community. I have a dream. Wait, no that wasn't it... Ah yes, so there is this charity which does amazing things for the world called Heifer. They take donations from people and use the money to buy and gift animals to families in poverty. The animals are then kept and used for eggs/milk/wool/etc, and the family benefit a lot, over a long period of time. Now they offer this package called the Ark. The Ark is a lot of animals sent in bulk to a village, and requires a donation of $5000. Obviously no one here wants to raise that all by themselves, but as a community I feel like that would be an awesome aim to go for before 2011 rolls around. At present I can think of a few global fundraising ideas in the real world and online for members to participate in, and we could set up a Youtube channel for awareness, where we blog about our fundraising that day, as well as promote the idea on Project4Awesome. Thoughts, anyone?!

Ooo... this is a cool idea. Use of thepogotribe channel and a Dan 3.0 task comes to mind. And we could all individually promote it and maybe even get some other factions (Nerdfighters, Beardlovers, etc.) involved.
Hmmm....

Think about it like this...
5000 people isnt much online...
$1 isn't much either...
HOWEVER, if 5000 people give just $1 then you have the full amount.
Now where to find 5000 people?

Now, thats a big idea ;D
we should find some way to get people to donate for such a cause.
Maybe could do something like arrange an event or contact several youtube singers to see if they would donate a song ( we would sell an album and all money would go to the charity) or if we have some good musicians or artists of other kinds in the moon, we could do the same. Which would give them a bigger audience and it would all be helping those in need.
sorry, too many ideas, but we should really do something ;D
