Merry Christmas or, perhaps, Festivus. The good news this Christmas day is that Pim has extended the deadline for buying tickets from First Giving for Menu of Hope V until 30 December her time. That’s new year’s eve if you are in Asia Pacific.
So far on Christmas morning $36,025 has been raised.
There are plenty of great prizes locally and internationally (though you should check whether or not they can be posted to your region) and great odds for winning – all for only a $10 ticket.
Even if no prizes appeal you can just donate to a great cause which last year fed 388,000 meals to 19,000 children in Lesthoto.
Pim has posted most prizes to the masterlist here. You can check the Asia Pacific masterlist here with the odds of winning as of earlier this week.
