The Giving Hands
For all of the diversity in the blogosphere, one thing that bloggers do really well is to come together for a common cause. Bloggers from around the world united last month to raise money for various charities. They all solicited sponsors and agreed to post at least once every half-hour for twenty-four hours. My friend Pelf kept her committment to Blogathon ‘07 and raised $778 $810 USD in pledges for Eden Handicap Service Centre. This was no surprise to me as I know Pelf to have a tender heart and a giving spirit. She has raised awareness and encouraged her readers to donate to several worhty causes in the few months that I’ve known her. This recently led her to establish The Giving Hands, a new blog dedicated to charitable causes.
Not one to rest on her laurels, Pelf is already moving forward with her next big project. Did I say big? Make that huge! On September 15th she’s kicking off a month-long campaign on issues relating to the environment. It will all culminate on October 15th, Blog Action Day, when, once again, bloggers will unite with a single focus, the environment. Pelf is looking for guest bloggers to help out. If you have a favorite environmental cause or a special area of knowledge, check out The Giving Hands, then contact Pelf and let her know you’d like to contribute. She’s already written a number of posts supporting environmental awareness. With your help she can fill her blog with the stuff we all need to know to make this world a better place.

Thanks for the wonderfully-written plug, skeet! I truly appreciate it
BTW, the total amount raised during Blogathon 2007 was USD810
And this is possible because of my generous sponsors!

I finally won a contest! Hooray!…

Some st*pid people issued license for a sand-mining operation right on the very beach that the river terrapins lay eggs. So now our river terrapins will become extinct faster since their nesting beach is being destroyed so rapidly. Also hig…
