Blogging For Hope

I have previously discussed worthwhile charity organizations and fund raising on this blog and something new has been brought to my attention that I feel is also worthwhile and I want to let you in on it.

Bloggingforhope.org is a non-profit organization that helps the youth in need in Africa and other developing countries. It’s very interesting how they are doing this. Working through local schools, they have been able to set up media centers with internet connections. They then help the kids learn how to blog and then become “affiliate” bloggers. They don’t make a lot of money through their affiliate links, but a little goes a long ways in these extremely poor areas. The income they make goes towards food, clothing and housing needs.

So, check out one of the best charities using the web for hope. Find blogs by category and click the affiliate links. Or, provide a corporate sponsorship. What an excellent use of the internet!

What a great great idea. I am thinking about doing some volunteering in Africa and was wondering if any of the people from small towns are blogging. It’s something I would love to help some people start.

Where do you find all your writing opportunities? I don’t seem to see a lot of the opportunities you write about on PPP?

Lately, everything I do is from PPP. The other sites haven’t had anything for me in months.

I did find this particular op to be very interesting. It might be right up your blogging alley!
