Many of you have emailed and asked what you can do to help out with the orphanage and the kids over in Africa that we are going to help and I think I have just the thing.
We are going to have a raffle and see if we can’t raise some money for these kids. Are you ready for this? Because we not only need you to buy raffle tickets but we need you to send this post around to everyone you know to see if we can’t raise some serious money for them.
What is this raffle for you ask? Well its for a 2009 Honda Metropolitan scooter of course!
It was the office scooter we purchased in February and has only 150 miles on it. Since we are moving to Ethiopia we are not going to need it anymore we figure we should put it to good use! Check out the Honda site for all the juicy details like the fact that it gets nearly 100 miles to the gallon or that you do not need a motorcycle license to drive one…
All proceeds will go directly to support the children in Ethiopia. All you need to do is select the number of tickets you wish to purchase below and click check out then keep your fingers crossed. Your tickets will be added to the raffle and we will announce the winner at the end of the month. It doesn’t get more simple than that!
Happy raffling!

(We went the first 12 hours with very few takers so for the first 100 tickets we are going to lower the price and see if we can not get some more tickets sold!)
Update 5/1/09 Sorry – the raffle is now closed. We will announce the winner soon!

Everybody wins here! Solving several problems with one simple solution, this often proves to be the best idea. Good luck
