I talked up Sharing Foundation's America's Giving Challenge while I was getting a haircut and other patrons were interested, even touched by the work of the Sharing Foundation. For $50, we can help adult students with their English for the whole year!! In Cambodia, rural children often die from preventable infection and disease.

At the Sharing Foundation, we are always on the lookout for t shirts and other items to bring over, so I asked if I could have them. Jay Dedman sent the box of leftover Vloggercon T-Shirts from 2006 and they were hand carried over the Cambodia and presented to the college students being sponsored by the Sharing Foundation.

A group of graduate students from Berkeley were coming to Kenya. Some weeks later, we got an email from one of the students, freshly in Kenya.

I asked the students what else does that? was to raise money for the Sharing Foundation to send 53 Cambodian Youngsters to school by covering the cost of their uniforms ($10 per child or $530). That means 454 youngsters will be able to attend school in Cambodia and hopefully, fine, a route out of poverty. My 53rd birthday wish.
