Charity Project - by Minx

We're starting a new project this month. We got a catalogue through the post from a charity called Send a Cow -  which, if you send them money, will send amazing gifts to people in poorer countries. You can buy trees, animals, equipment and training. Here's a list of the things we are hoping to get. (We have arranged them by price. They are our milestones. When we hit a milestone, it will be highlighted in green):

£5     Magic Muck

£10    4 Tree Saplings

£17    Medicinal Shrubs

£24   Sheep

£30   10 Chickens

£40    Beehive

£55    2 Local Goats

£70    Donkey

£100   Donkey + 10 Chickens

£120   Local Cow

£200   Local Cow + Farm Training + 10 Chickens

£265   5 Guinea Fowl + 2 Dairy Goats

£350   5 Guinea Fowl + 2 Dairy Goats + Farm Training + 10 Chickens + Cockerel

£500   Breeding Bull

£600   Breeding Bull + 2 Local Goats + Bike

£750   Dairy Cow

£1000 Breeding Bull + 5 Guinea Fowl + 2 Dairy Goats + 1 Local Cow + 1 Donkey + 10 Chickens + Cockerel + 4 Tree Saplings

£2000 Farmyard - a selection of animals, plants, equipment and training

So far, we've raised £28, which is enough to buy a sheep. But we'll need your help to raise money. We're going to make cool accessories from recycled clothes and sell them on eBay along with some things we've made from scratch. We'll let you know when we have auctions up and running. You could also help by bidding on our artwork, buying prints of our photographs (list coming soon) and sponsoring us for various activities. We'll be installing a PayPal button soon to make it easier to buy our stuff.

So many people take what they have for granted. It's important for all of us to realise how lucky we are and to appreciate what the charities are doing to help those who are less fortunate. We should all help to raise money.

That's all for now. Bye! - Minx


Update: 02/12/08

We're up to £39 now. I sold some Barbie DVDs on eBay. Just £1 more and we'll be able to afford a beehive. Buzzzzzzzzzz!!!!!

Update: 13/12/08

Nan came round the other day and donated £5 to our cause so now we have £44 - enough for our beehive.

Update: 06/01/09

The most exciting thing happened: I won a prize in a magazine competition! I won a copy of Sonic Unleashed for XBox 360 and sold it on eBay for £23. Straight into the Send a Cow pot! We've been adding the odd pound here and there so now we have £77. Hee haw!

Update 19/06/09

We've been a bit slack on this lately, but we did sponsor a friend who did the Race for Life. We've still managed to stash away a pound here and there, so now we have exactly one hundred pounds. It looks like more when you write it out in full. Now we can buy a donkey and 10 chickens.

Update: 19/07/09

Okay, a few more pounds here and there and we're up to £126. Mmooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
