Giveaway Time

As I mentioned in my previous post, this is a giveaway which a difference. Yes you will get a chance..or more...to win something but you will also be making a huge difference to the lives of someone much less fortunate than yourselves.

Did you know....

Every day more than 4,000 children in developing countries die, simply because they don't have clean drinking water.

* Contaminated drinking water is a major problem. More than one billion people do not have access to safe water.

* Diarrhea caused by drinking contaminated water remains a leading cause of illness and death among infants and children in the developing world.

* About 1.8 million children die every year due to diarrheal diseases.

* More children die from diarrheal illnesses like cholera and dysentery than from HIV/AIDS or malaria combined.

* It is well documented that simply providing safe, clean, drinkable water can reduce deadly diarrhea and other devastating diseases by about 50%.

When you and I need a drink we can just flip on the tap and know that water is safe to drink.

Can you imagine having to walk miles to collect water to drink.

or drinking water from a lake in which cows freely roam.

I can't and it breaks my heart that I cannot just wave a wand and put an end to this right now.

But there is something we can do.

20 packets of Pur water purifier will provide one child with clean water for 100 days yet only costs $2.

To enter this giveaway I ask that you please donate $2 directly to the charity that does this wonderful work.

Donations are via PayPal which is perfectly safe and will cost you nothing.

Copy your confirmation number and leave it in a comment on this post.

The confirmation number will merely show you made a donation and will not show how much nor divulge any personal details.

Because I'd like to raise as much money as possible, if you then mention it on your blog you will get 2 entries. Mention it on Facebook and you'll get another entry. Just leave a comment telling me you've done so.

The winner will be drawn at random using a random number generator on May 14th. You will see that I have set up my blog to give each comment a number. Entries must be in by midnight on May 13th.

And now for the prize....the winner will be able to choose any one of the following plants.

If none of the above float your boat I have some more wacky plants in progress and you can choose one of those which I will then finish for you.

I am sorry this was so wordy but I am extremely passionate about this and really wanted to get my point across.

Those of you who have donated already, I truly thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will add a comment for you to make sure you get a number.

I am in no way affiliated with this charity or P & G and am not receiving any compensation other than the knowledge that between us we can make a huge difference.
