WSI & Make Child Poverty History

As Successful business owners we need to give back to our community. Kathy and I contribute our money and time to MS, Breast Cancer, The Princess Margaret Hospital and The Sick Kids Foundation (click here to donate to Sick Kids). What are you doing? Let me know with your comments. Here is a great example of a Canadian company leveraging their Global presence as the Internet Marketing leaders for business owners who are giving back to the world of children living in poverty. WSI & Make Child Poverty History.

Sick Kids Foundation

My significant other Kathy and I have started to support Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, as one of our Top 3 Charities. Sick Kids in Toronto has a history of not only specializing with the best research and doctors in the world but also the best care of children from around the world. We provide monthly a financial support and now we have launched a fundraiser website. We started with a very low and achievable goal of $200. Our hope is that with your help and the help of our family and friends that this goal is proven to be way too low. Check out our site and help the kids if you can: click here

Make Child Poverty History Toolbar

Have you ever wondered how you can help the starving children around the world but stopped yourself because the problem just seems too big for one person to solve? Well now is your chance to once again think about this but from a more powerful position. WSI as part of their 'Make Child Poverty History' campaign has now launched the MCPH Toolbar. When you load this toolbar click here and then conduct searches over the internet using this toolbar Yahoo will pay World Vision to help feed children.

When you think about the billions of searches conducted on the internet every day you can just imagine how quickly this can grow if we tell the world about this toolbar. We all know WSI has launched a sponsorship program where they will match dollar for dollar every child you sponsor. As individuals working with companies such as WSI, Yahoo, Benefitbar.com and others we can eradicate child poverty in our life time.

Go ahead, make their day!

American Idol and Poverty

"Idol Gives back" is a two-night special to benefit children and young people in need in America and Africa airing Tuesday, April 24 and Wednesday, April 25 on FOX. Gwen Stefani, Josh Groban, Pink, Michael Bublé, Annie Lennox, Il Divo and Borat Sagdiyev among many world-renowned artists are scheduled to appear and the Ford Motor Company leads corporate sponsors."

American idol is using the power of 37 million voters per episode and I'm sure this number will increase with these two special shows. Look at the star power they now attract as listed above from this opportunity to help with poverty. Yes, this is great, and they should be commended for taking action and using the power of their show. When I heard this it reminded me of what WSI is doing with their "Make Child Poverty History" campaign and how they are leveraging their impressive and high Page Ranking on the Search Engines as a result of 1/2 a billion hits to their websites per month.

For every child sponsored WSI will match this and sponsor another child and if you bring on corporate sponsorships these children will also be matched by WSI and the corporations will get to leverage the WSI High Page Rankings. This is brilliant and it is clear to see that American Idol, WSI and now MIT with their $100 Laptop Program are travelling in an elite circle of special organizations.

Bravo!
