I would like to begin my final blog of the "Drew Year" by saying a BIG THANK YOU to all of the 3663 (does this figure mean a reversal of fortune for the hungry? i hope so) "friend's" that have taken the time to read the "CASH" topic that i put forward in Drews philanthropy section. I'm absolutely overwhelmed by the response. I thought maybe 100 would read it and a few take up the challenge. Seeing the above gives hope that more than few have done so. Okay, it's time to count up the small change that you have small change that you have saved and put it into whatevever coin bags (U/K) coin wraps in the U.S.A/ Canada so that you can take it to your local bank and donate it to the WFP before Drews Birthday. I am hopeful that i have reached my personal target, of $50 - $100, (£30 - £60) i must say without really trying to hard. As i have not yet counted my change i will put the figure at the end of the blog. I know PaulAndrew, (my co conspirator in the original idea) and at least two other's have joined in. I hope that there are a few more of you out there who think, yes this is an easy way to Donate to theWFP? It has been a tough year trying to keep the blog up to date, (as you can see by the summer month's) keeping people interested with a hint or two of humour thrown in? Do i try to repeat this from the 23rd February 2010. I do not really know? My voluntary hours at the sports club has increased by three time's from last March - August from 10hour's - 32hours per week. It is hard work some days but it keeps my body in shape, which at the time of writing this blog it what i would call " slightly pear shaped". I will carry on saving my loose change that is for sure. "O MY GOODNESS" forget the $50 (£30) low end. The bar has been raised to $100 (£60) mimimum for Drews next Birthday in 2011. I may regret this decision, as I've said i did not really push myself so this figure is reachable. My grand total from the day after Drews last Birthday is, ................................................................................................................................................................... ...............................http.www.smallchangeforabigchange.blogspot.com .............................................................................
I can barely wrap my arms around your Candy Jar
Do you come from a country where it is okay to put money into my red cup?
a Staggering $136.74 or £87.00. SUCCESS I THINK, now that has made me smile today, YAY!
I have to keep going now, as i have £3.11 or $4.78 left in various denomination's of small change.
What started out as a VERY SIMPLE IDEA, consider what we could ACHIEVE together.
If all the Member's (there are 4451 registered to date) joined in.
That would be really amazing don't you think?
WOULD THIS MAKE YOU THINK "YES THIS HIS EASY ENOUGH TO ACHIEVE"?
If every member saved $25 (£16 in the U/K) Over The Next 12 Month's (350 day's from the 23rd. February) in small change,
(in simple terms, 7.15 cent's a day (4.56p in U/K) to donate to the WFP for Drews next Birthday.
I do not work for any organisation I'm just an ordinary guy who likes Drew movie's, her humility towards others & the inspirational qualities. As you can see by these blog's that i have written, they are not earth shattering. "BIG A is writing a Blog", my friend's would laugh at you. (give me a break he is not that smart lol) I think, NO I KNOW that the target below is so stupidly easy to reach. All we have to do is to pull in the same direction.
No Sweat!
$111,275.000 (£71,056.000 in the U/K), exchange rate = $1.566 US to £1 U/K
That would amount to an UNBELEIVABLE Donation
I am dreaming of course. What if it was in REALITY, TRUE? WOW!!
To end, to any member taking part in the ( $25, £16 in the UK) challenge will he SAVE CHILDREN'S LIVE'S which is the whole point of this very simplistic idea.
