(If you want to know more about why my family and I care about the children of Cambodia and this charity, take a minute to watch this video my son, Harry made.) We raised $6,158 from 157 donors!

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!

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.

Beth Kanter , friend and blogger, is raising money for the Sharing Foundation, which supports kids in Cambodia. Watch the video Beth did with her son: Now, if you give $10 you can help Beth raise $50,000 through a competition called America’s Giving Challenge. It’s a dumb question because I know you can.

In our family, I have involved my kids in fundraising activities from the time they were old enough to walk.

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. The set up page was easy to set up, but you are only given a limited number of options for the fundraising pitch. It facilitates free agent fundraising.

We need all kinds of help, anything from donations to getting involved with helping to fundraise for this observatory, to going overseas. We have a scholarship fund that gives scholarships to at-risk children along the Thai-Burma border; that is something else that can be gifted in honor of family members. A lot of people like that.
