Wow! Those are some great stats! I don't know how you found the time to do everything, but I really admire all your passion and hard work.

I will be doing a bit of research this weekend to decide to which organization I am going to send my donation.

Congratulations on a wonderful job, Natasha, and thank you for helping bring awareness of the situation in Darfur. I know I hadn’t given it too much thought before your project, so I’m glad you encouraged us all to look beyond the small circle of our daily lives.
I hadn’t agreed to sponsor you from the beginning but I just gave a $100 ($85.05 rounded up) donation to the IRC. Thanks again for everything you did.

That’s really amazing. You should be so proud. I’ll be sending my $85.05 (ok, I’m just going to round up and send $100) once I figure out which organization to send to.

My husband and I will be sending our donation to one of those organizations above this week. I sponsored you for every post. Thanks again for your inspiration and generosity.

okay, so here’s what I’m going to do. I said I would sponsor you both ways, but since I currently don’t have a job I will just be doing 50 cents per post. So the $31 about! And then when I become employed I’ll definitely be donating more!

Natasha, I’m so thrilled that this was so successful! Thanks so much for the links to the charities — I’ll be going through them carefully later tonight and choosing one.

You are amazing.

I love the honor system! Amber quoted your best line!

My daughter decided to dontate her piggy bank savings of $10.98 and I told her I would match it (I wish I could do more…no job=poor) We decided we are going to donate to The International Rescue Committe, Donae for Darfur. Just have to get the details set up. We didn’t enter for the grand prize, because we didn’t exactly sponsor you.

My pride in my daughter is better than $800 worth of books. Her $10.98 makes my heart melt. I think I am raising a little humanitarian…she is only 7! I credit her school which is VERY actively teaching about the world.

So anyways, there is my little proud of my daughter bit Natasha…still awesome. Like you I had no idea what was going on in Darfur until your blog. Sad, but true. So thank you for opening my eyes to the problems of the world, however horrific they may be. I’m worried about gas prices and someones villiage is being burned to the ground. Puts things into perspective.
