G'day! Thanks for returning!

Jasmin Tragas (aka Wonderwebby) has launched a project to help raise $10k for a microfinance project in the Philippines.

All you need to do is respond to this challenge (see basic rules below) and you have a chance of winning a gift set of personalized postcards, minicards and stickers courtesy of MOO and a copy of “World Poverty for Dummies” courtesy of Wiley Australia!

The theme for this creative fundraising challenge is about thinking “Beyond”. It’s about changing your world. It’s about innovation, vision and hope. And it’s about making a difference.

Beyond yourself…towards the world.
Beyond the immediate…towards the possibilities.
Beyond having an idea…towards sharing it.
Beyond observing…towards participating.
Beyond poverty…towards empowerment and opportunity.

As part of my contribution I have recorded a video, reading a harrowing passage from Andrew Solomon’s ‘The Noonday Demon’ (see below for a link to the book on Amazon.com).

There is an abridged, low-res version of my reading on YouTube, or else you can download a high-quality version [65mb, .wmv].
