A nice round five zero days to the start of www.millioneurosin90days.com. This project which is my own idea and using ideas from other people and mixing it all up to create a sponsor a box, infact lots of boxes ! yicks !  wow how am I going to do that in a 3 part 90days? I am not sure, I expect I will have to work very hard, may be even harder than that. Yet I like a challenge, and this is certainly a challenge. Basically all I want to do is offer a box or even more to each company or individual who would like to be part of this project, and want to have their website logo filling the boxes on my homepage. In return they could benefit from the publicty that this project will get, including making this whole excercise into a TV style production which will at some point hopefully be shown to the nation. It will be a great opportunity to highlight the good work that the Fair Trade cause is all about and the work that the chosen charities do in these third world countries. There is a common strand here as this entire project firstly sets an ambitious target in a set time. Secondly the idea to watch it on a daily basis and see how I go about making it happen, using entrepreneural technics, including advertising, marketing cold approaches to businesses, accounting, setting financial goals and targets. The third area is the joining up of all the strands linked to the reason I am doing this project. This is where my store, here in Newport on the Isle of Wight, called Caffe-Society Fair Trade Store comes into its own. More recently I have developed a website linked to my store called , www.caffe-society.co.uk  both these stores promote Fair Trade products, and my goal to afford to design and build a further store that takes in to account all the lastest energy savings building methods, that will make it enviromentally friendly, and state of the art maybe a blue print for all high street stores in the future. Along with this I want to give half of all the money I raise to causes that work in the third world, and particualarly charites that concentrate on basic requirements, and fresh water has to be one of those.The two charities I have come across so far are Fairtrade Foundation who work in the same countries as many of the products that I sell come form and and another Charity called Find your Feet. I will talk about these charities in greater detail in a few weeks time on this blog. I have just started talking to them about this project to see if they are interested in getting involved. So far the response has been very positive.
