Just fill out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Community\/2008\/10\/HopeChest.aspx\">this entry form<\/a> to be entered into a drawing for the free trip (more info below).<br \/>\nFor the month of November, Beliefnet is hosting a Children&#8217;s HopeChest campaign to raise funds for orphans in Africa. All month long, we&#8217;ll be encouraging people to donate through <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkforgood.org\/pca\/Badge.aspx?badgeId=112858\">special badges<\/a> that appear on member profiles, blogs, and other places online. (Get the code to place the badge on your own page under the &#8220;Share&#8221; tab <a href=\"http:\/\/www.networkforgood.org\/pca\/Badge.aspx?badgeId=112858\">here<\/a>).<br \/>\nOur goal is to raise $500\/day. You can donate as little as $10, and can make a one-time pledge or become a regular supporter. Your money will buy food, clothes, and medicine for needy children in Africa&#8211;many of whom are sick with AIDS and have no means of support. Your extra cash can save their lives!<br \/>\nWhether you donate or not, you can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/Community\/2008\/10\/HopeChest.aspx\">enter the free drawing<\/a> to win a trip to Africa in 2009.

(The date and length of this trip is to be determined.) For several days, the winner will visit orphans, meet the people who care for them, and discover the world-changing work that is being done by Children&#8217;s HopeChest and their partners.<br \/>\nThe drawing will be held on December 1, 2008. The winner will be announced on this blog.
