I thought top friends was a great way to acknowledge your donors, but if they privacy settings do not allow displaying their name/photo on your profile, you won't be able to add them to your list. Yesterday, the search function worked beautifully so you could drop names/photos in, but today it isn't working. I'm not sure why.

By the time you read this post, I’ll be in Cambodia. For those of you who have been following my blogging since 2004, you know why Cambodia is in my heart! We promised the monk that we would hold Cambodia in our hearts and travel back with our children to their birth country when they were old enough to appreciate it.

Whether I'm raising money for Cambodia or Creative Commons , I try to include them in some way. We have dinner table discussions on why it is important to support causes, particularly programs in Cambodia like the Sharing Foundation.

That means 454 youngsters will be able to attend school in Cambodia and hopefully, fine, a route out of poverty. I quickly took photos and did a fast video of him explaining it. We crushed that goal and raised $4,840 because of your generosity in donating and calling attention to the birthday wish. It blew me away.
