My 53rd birthday wish 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). That means 454 youngsters will be able to attend school in Cambodia and hopefully, fine, a route out of poverty. Kami Watson Huyse calls this a shared accomplishment.

In both my campaigns, I let the fundraising widget/badge remain on my sidebar even after the campaign was over and we had made our goal. One of the things that the Sharing Foundation's founder, Dr. Hendrie , is obsessing about this week is the best way to say thank you to donors who give to you online. See above).

I have many examples from my own children and those of Sharing Foundation stakeholders - many who are adoptive parents and have encouraged their children to give back to Cambodia. Take for example the lemon stand fundraiser. One of their donors was a class of kindergarteners!

Whether I'm fundraising for Cambodia or Creative Commons , I involve my kids. We have dinner table discussions on why it is important to support causes, particularly programs in Cambodia like the Sharing Foundation. I baked a lot of cupcakes with my mom for those bake sales. But it doesn't involve baking cupcakes.

So, somehow I'm stuck on the theme of toilet paper holders as gifts. I learned about it from the site Changing the Present , a donation portal that also lets you set up a wish list of causes to support in lieu of gifts for the holidays or other occassions. Last week I blogged about an Ipod/Toilet paper holder over at Netsquared.

They know personallyh the power of getting an education in a country like Cambodia and know that even at $10 donation to purchase a uniform will make all the difference in the world for that child. I've know them "virtually" for a while and they've always a contributed a little bit to my fundraising campaigns for Sharing Foundation.

In our family, I have involved my kids in fundraising activities from the time they were old enough to walk. Whether I'm raising money for Cambodia or Creative Commons , I try to include them in some way. My colleagues who support the The Sharing Foundation also make fundraising for their favorite cause a family activity.

Before I go further, I have thank everyone for the early birthday present - a donation to the Sharing Foundation. In less than 24 hours, I've raised $806 to help children in Cambodia using a new feature in Facebook Causes. Every year I do a fundraising campaign using social media. It facilitates free agent fundraising.
