Passports With Purpose Update: Experiences To Remember

With 7 days left until Passports With Purpose raffle ticket sales close, we have just passed our $5000 fundraising goal! That is fantastic news, and I want to thank everyone who has already donated.

We're not done yet, though, and I hope that everyone who has put off donating will take the time to do it now. With the economy worsening, and jobs (even in low-paying factories in the developing world) becoming rarer, it is more important than ever that people who are barely surviving find the means to support themselves. Heifer International offers that support by providing families and even entire communities animals that will produce both food and income.

Not only will you get the satisfaction that comes from giving something that is truly needed, but each $10 donation gives you the chance to win a great prize! With the New Year quickly approaching, I've been thinking a lot about the experiences that made this year memorable, and I thought I'd share a list of the prizes that might help you create your own unique memories in 2009.
