I am sitting here amazed that we were able to meet the campaign goal for the Cambodia Bloggers Summit in about week's time. The good folks at ChipIn , the personal fundraising widget that I used for this campaign, put forth a challenge. This not only gave me courage to launch this campaign, but helped leverage contributions.
