Скачать или смотреть $5,000 by 15 May for Hush for Homelessness

Hush for Homelessness is an initiative by Mission Australia to help raise awareness and funds for the 105,000 people in Australia who have no home. According to statistics, "[o]f these people, around 50% are yet to have their 25th birthday and 10,000 are children aged under 12." Consequently, our fellow Australians live invisible and voiceless lives and we'd like to help them MAKE (more than) A STATEMENT by participating in Mission Australia's challenge to keep quiet for an hour on Friday, 15 May 2009. All proceeds go to Mission Australia, to provide crisis and transitional support services for the homeless.

Our aim is to raise $5,000 for Mission Australia in one week! Also, to make it more exciting, were willing to go beyond the stipulated hour of silence and have added in some extras:

1. For EACH PERSON who contributes more than $1.01, our entire team will keep quiet for another hour!
2. For every donation above $101, you can nominate an individual to keep quiet for an EXTRA hour on top of the team's hours. e.g. if you donate $101 to Audrey, she will keep quiet for one hour, if you donate $202, two hours, and if you donate $1010, ten hours!!!*"
*But she can choose the waking hours she keeps quiet.

Does that sound like a fun way to make a positive contribution to those around us? If so, please visit http://www.everydayhero.com.au/101 to make a donation by Credit Card/Paypal/hand it to us in person! :)
