Update: 1st November 2010
My justgiving page for HOPEHIV is now closed. If you would still like to donate to them, please do so directly at hopehiv.org
A number of people have suggested to me that I ought to charge a fee for the notes I created and published on this blog for ED209 in 2009 and for those that I’m currently creating as I work my way through DD303.
I don’t – I’ve always regarded what I do with this blog as a form of motivation to keep me going through the courses I’m taking! And it’s the only reliable way I can think of that ensures I really do attempt to make notes and not just fly into a mad panic three weeks before the exam – which was pretty much my experience with DSE212 in 2007.
However, it did lead me to think about whether I might want to offer a way for those of you who wanted to show your appreciation in a more tangible way than simply leaving nice comments, though I really like those too! My week on holiday at Spring Harvest in Skegness presented me with a challenge that I felt I wanted to take up – that of attempting to raise some money for HOPEHIV (Registered Charity 1079385).
If you’d like to find out more about what they do, then please visit my JustGiving page or spend four minutes watching the video below:
If you want to and are able to help, thank you. I’m going to leave my JustGiving page open until 31st October 2010, so there will be plenty of time for you to donate something.
I’m trying to think of other ways to raise money – I’ll keep you all posted on what I get up too. For example, I’ve already decided that any advertising revenue I get through this blog before 31st October 2010 will also go to HOPEHIV.
Thanks again.
Tim.
