Friends and Bloggers: This is very IMPORTANT!
\nMy friend Patton Dodd of BeliefNet.com<\/a> and I have linked our respective organizations for the month of November to raise money for orphans, generate conversation about poverty, and give away a trip to Africa. <\/p>\n

All month, Beliefnet and CHC are encouraging people to donate through a charity badge.
\nWe\u2019d like to raise $500\/day. People can also enter a contest (whether they donate or not) to win a free trip to Africa. <\/p>\n

Sometime in 2009, the winner will accompany me on a HopeChest Vision Trip in Africa. Full details can be found by clicking here.<\/a>
\nWe need your help. Please get the word out via your blogs, load the charity badge onto your site (the code is below), email your friends, and sound the horn however you can. If you don\u2019t have a blog, you can post something on your website or you can guest blog on mine or Daniel\u2019s blogs. <\/p>\n

And when you write a post (or posts) about orphans and poverty, email the link to Patton (pdodd@beliefnetstaff.com<\/a>) and Daniel (daniel@hopechest.org<\/a>) and we will connect it all on Beliefnet.
\nThe contest is running now, so get the word out today!<\/p>\n
