I thought I would add this to my blog today as it is shown on my Caffe-Society website explaning this great project.

Re. Millioneurosin90days.com

 

I have owned Caffe-Society Store selling fair trade in Newport, here on the Isle of Wight, for the past 5-6 years building up a successful business and developing an ever increasing range of Tea, Coffee and Chocolate fair trade products, some of which are exclusive to us . I want to develop and expand this business and firstly have designed this great website www.caffe-society.co.uk  so that people from other areas of the UK and beyond can also buy the great products that we sell in store.

 

I have now developed an idea called www.Millioneurosin90days.comwhich is a project to take my business to the next level. I have a website that is based on a single homepage filled with lots of boxes. I intend to ask companies and individuals to sponsor each square for a 100 Euros each, thats £ 66 in old money. I have set a time limit of 90 days and the first day will be 8th March 2007, By day 90 I aim to have succeeded in reaching my goal. To make it more interesting I am going to donate 50% of everying I raise to two charities that work in the Third World. The areas of South America, Asia, and Africa. These are the places that many of my fair trade products come from. The charities that I want to support are ones that offer the basic requirements in life like the supply of Fresh Water, Medical Help etc. Log onto to my website to get all the latest information about these charities and read my daily blogs once the project starts in March.

 

The other thing that will make this whole project interesting is that I am being filmed by a TV Production company . They will follow me as I try to make this project a reality, and in addition I will be on a daily video diary camera, so nothing will be missed. It should be a very interesting project. The other half of the funds raised will be used by me to develop and expand awareness in the fair trade business by building a store that will take advantage of all the latest enviromentally friendly technics. A green eco store. I am also going to donate funds towards the United Nations Enviromental Programme, which helps combat CO2 .

 

So there will be lots going on, so to keep up with all the news, don't forget to check out the website, www.millioneurosin90days.com, and wish me luck.  - Julian
