Help Build a School in Cambodia and Win Fabulous Prizes

Today, as bloggers everywhere started posting about Passports With Purpose it finally hit me, we really ARE going to build a school in Cambodia this year. If you've been a regular reader, I don't have to tell you how much it means to do something so concrete for people who have been so abused and who have so few opportunities.

I am thankful for the support we have gotten from the travel community. I am absolutely in awe of the wonderful prizes travel bloggers have rounded up, and the very generous companies who provided them. We have everything from multi-night hotel stays to camera gear and travel gear. On top of that, a set of amazing sponsors (more about them later) has put us well on our way to our $13,000 goal.

Now it's your turn. Each $10 not only brings us closer to our goal, but it also enters you to win a fabulous prize. So, before you read further, please go check out our list of prizes and make your $10 or more donation

Kodak Zi6 Pocket Video Camera

My own prize is something you simply cannot live without this season. This Kodak Zi6 video camera retails for 179.00, but you might win it just in time to make your own family videos during the new year. You can use this pocket sized HD video camera to edit and upload videos to YouTube or Facebook (or just share them with your family and friends). A 2.4-inch LCD screen lets you view everything you record. Here's a full review from PC Mag
