Caffe-Society Fairtrade Organic Store "Sponsor A Square for £19 ($30)". Please support Julian in raising 1 Million Euros in a 90 day project. Funds raised will go to Charities working in the Third World and a new state of the Art Eco-Green Organic Store here in the UK. Buy a space for your business website and be part of this worthwhile project.
Raised £ 140.00 / $210.00 todays in sponsorship from companies to put their websites on my homepage. I must admit that these small sums were from companies that I had mentioned about the project before the start, however it gives me the confidence to continue as all these who I did not know before the project started all said what a great idea this was.
DAY 2
As I enter the second day, it was a shock to hear an announcement that the second largest killer in developing countries especially amoungst children is DIARRHOEA. Clearly not the most talked about subject, never the less a major problem. Sanitation, something we take for granted, using something as simple as a toilet prevents so much infection. I want to donate monies to charities working in this area as I think Water and Sanitation are key to helping people get on with their lives. Please help me achieve this goal I have set. As you may know at least half the money I raise will be donated to charities working in developing countries, also I plan to film how this money is spent, as part of the film project running alongside this internet project.
Its 4pm (BST) Britsih Summer Time, Its Thursday 12th August, -2010, and after much preparation which has taken many months, this project finally gets started. Based on the fact that this project will run for 90 days, I calculate that the final day will be 4pm on Tuesday 9th November 2010. This period will exclude Saturdays and Sundays as it will be unlikely that I will be able to deal with businesses during these weekend breaks, So wish me luck, and more importantly, why not join me, see you at the finish.
As I prepare for the start of this ambitious project I have entered some Charity websites on the homepage, to help promote them while I contact companies about including them in the project. You may notice a large number of entries so far These are made up of some companies we are showing as examples of what their site will look like , but I am looking to fill all the spaces so join me now.
Part of this project is the way it is promoted through the media. By keeping the Media informed, we can reach a far greater number of people telling them about this great project and the fantastic companies taking part. Below is a piece from a local Radio Station.
As you may be aware, at least half the money I raise will go to charities working in the developing countries, Like Africa, South America and India.. One of those Charities is Find Your Feet.
Welcome to my first blog of this fantastic, worthwhile project, Millioneurosin90days.com. This project is designed to bring awareness about Fairtrade and the link with the Enviroment. Please watch my promotional video below and read my blogs as I progress over the next few months. This whole project is being made into a film and a book for added promotion to the benefit of all the companies who join me. Thanks to 360 Red TV and FilmProductions and Studio 9 Film Productions for their assistance in this project.
