Featured Cause: Whatcom Middle School

Tuesday, November 10th, 2009

whatcommiddleschoolAs many of you have heard, Whatcom Middle School in Bellingham, WA caught on fire on Thursday, November 5th. The 106-year-old school building’s roof collapsed during a fire displacing hundreds of students.  Two of those students happen to be the 11-year-old twin nieces of one of our GlobalMojo team members, Emily Hine. After the fire, the twins called Emily to see if GlobalMojo could help the school, and the answer was, “Of course!” We are happy to help kick off/contribute to the fundraising efforts in the following ways, and invite others to join us in supporting the WMS fire recovery efforts.

Here’s how people can help:

1.  GlobalMojo has set up a custom Internet browser specifically for Whatcom Middle School. Supporters of Whatcom Middle School browser can generate revenue for the school fire recovery efforts simply by downloading the customized browser and by doing what they do online every day—search, shop and make travel arrangements.  When you download and use the Whatcom Middle School browser at http://globalmojo.com/whatcommiddleschool, GlobalMojo will donate 100% of the gross revenue generated from your daily browsing activities to the fire recovery efforts through the end of 2009. After that, we will continue to donate 50% of the gross revenue generated by Whatcom Middle School supporters.

You can download the full browser or add-on for *Firefox and help us support Whatcom Middle School, by visiting this custom link: http://globalmojo.com/whatcommiddleschool .

2.  We are also pleased to kick off the fundraising efforts by making a cash donation of $500. To encourage additional support, GlobalMojo will match another company’s donation of up to $500 to WMS. Donations can be made to the Whatcom Middle School Fund at the Whatcom Community Foundation website: www.whatcomcf.org .

3.  Please spread the word to everyone you know by sharing this blog. If every alumni, parent, grandparent, uncle or aunt who knows a student or teacher impacted by this loss makes a donation and encourages their company to step forward to make a donation, we can help the students and teachers rebuild what they’ve lost in the tragic fire at Whatcom Middle School.

Let’s rally the community to help the students, teachers and recovery efforts of Whatcom Middle School!

Featured Cause: Stand Up Against Poverty!

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

Stand Up Against Poverty
For the fourth consecutive year, millions of people around the world will “Stand Up and Take Action” to demand that world leaders end poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

In September 2000, 189 world leaders adopted the MDGs as part of the Millennium Declaration at the United Nations Millennium Summit. The MDGs offer us a roadmap to end poverty and its root causes.

The MDG’s set an unprecedented global framework for development that is a crucial step towards ending poverty and inequality by 2015.

The eight MDG goals include:

Last year, a record-breaking 116 million people stood up and took action to end poverty and help achieve these Goals. This movement has set a new Guinness World Record for the largest mobilization around a single cause in recorded history.

However, this is a time of extraordinary challenge. The global financial crisis is having a devastating impact on the world’s poorest and most vulnerable, and the climate crisis threatens to undo the gains that have been made towards achieving the MDGs. With only six years left to the 2015 deadline, no region is on track to achieve their goals.

We must make fulfilling the MDGs an urgent priority, and ‘Stand Up, Take Action’ is a vital opportunity to send a clear directive to world leaders to deliver on the promise they made to the world’s people to usher in a new era of equality, health, and prosperity.
