Randy and I have been discussing how we can use the massive wealth that we made in BlogShares. It must actually count for something: Why not support a BlogShares child, or two, or three?

We can sell the profits we make on eBay and turn the real cash into a charity!

So starting this month we are accepting donations. They can be B$, chips, ideas or anything else. At the end of the month we will take all that we have collected and auction it off on eBay. We will then use the money to sponsor chidren under the 'Save the Children' fund.

Since we announced it, we have already gained enough money to sponsor two children due to the generosity of one of the fellow BlogShares players. We will post the person's name after Randy ask him if it is ok to publish his name, as some folks like to remain anonymous.

We had thought this is an excellent way to donate to a charity and help some underprivileged folks. We will post on both of our blogs any correspondences we get from our sponsored kids.

Randy will also post his paypal statements after blacking out his personal informations for transparency purposes.

We have placed a PayPal button on our sites if you would like to donate some real cash. We will be adopting these children as part of the BlogShares community, not in our names or anything. It has cost us nothing but, our premium membership to get where we are, why not take some of the game wealth and put it to good use?

Thanks for any support you may give.

Randy and Laila*
