Blogging for Chickens Ends – 110 Pairs of Chickens Donated

Just a short note to let people know that the Blogging for Chickens project is officially over.

Thanks to all who have made donations. The total raised was $1100 (AU) (around $830US) – that is 110 pairs of chickens going to families living in poverty.

Having travelled through and lived for short periods of time in a number of slums in SE Asian countries I know what an impact even a small donation like this can have upon the life of a family – thank you all for your generosity.

In the next day or two (once a couple of paypal e-checks have cleared) I’ll make a payment to Oxfam on behalf of those who took the option to donate via my paypal (most of those who participated took this option).

Darren did you give that money ($1100) or you kept it for yourself?

I didn’t finish my commitments this week for my Mastermind Group (thankfully they gave me a reprieve from my leverage this time around). And my site traffic is down because I have let go of my traffic building tasks for a little while (deep breath – people WILL come back!!). And I totally forgot to send $ to Blog for Chickens (Poop!).
