This can be where we share information!

On Facebook I am Linda Nowakowski (Imagine that!)

I have joined everything so that if you need a reference so that we can get the points find me. Add me as a friend (that is one point) and then I will add you as a friend (and that is another!).

This is a referral link for Igive that will count your joining to our team.

Comment 2 on click4gulu

Linda, the click4gulu tag has links to many o/net member profiles and this thread, and the click4kireka tag has links to just member profiles. Clicking thru the tag Ned members cannot really tell what the tag means, or what is going on. Can you please describe the program here, so Ned members get a sense of what's going on?

From 1 Feb through 15 June 2008, Life in Africa USA is challenging teams at two community owned telecenters in Uganda to a click4africa CONTEST to earn financial help with the ongoing costs of keeping their community connected to the Internet.

In addition to monthly connectivity awards the two teams can earn each month, and an investment in computers and connectivity quality upgrades that one team will win in mid June, any Click4Africa participants who are Ugandan citizens can also win monthly prizes and cash awards for leading in the race to earn click4africa points for their team.

Whoever you are, you are invited to click4africa too! When you qualify to have your online activity at Ned.com, facebook.com and iGive.com counted toward your favorite team's total, you are helping that team EARN their internet time and WIN investments in connectivity infrastructure at their community center.

Non Ugandan participants can also earn bonus donations to their team's internet budget each month, win prizes donated by LiA supporters, and qualify for the opportunity to win a really tremendous prize in the second round of click4africa 2008, during the second half of the year (how about free trip to Uganda?)

Hey members I have poted more tips on how to earn points for your team at http://www.ned.com/group/lia-usa /news/8/

Comment 6 on click4gulu

I started to put together the points so far for round 1 but I am not going to continue. Only two people are qualified to be counted. They are Peter and Jesca of Kireka. Good job to both of them!!!! I have posted a listing over here http://www.ned.com/group/lia-usa /ws/click4africa___round_1/

This shows what steps are missing to get qualified. If your name is not on the list it is probably because you did not tag your profile so I would have no way of knowing who you are. If you are not on the list you will have to send me a pm to get added.

For Igive, you were asked to send the log in information. However, I can see all the names who have signed up for our cause. If all of you would just go to your account, click on stores visited and it will give you a list of all the stores. Copy the list in an email and send it to me at evvy4lia@yahoo.com and I can verify your visits. Maybe this will be easier.

I am going to give you all until Wed. of next week to get qualified. Then I will do the point tallies. If you have questions, contact me.

Comment 7 on click4gulu

This is not directly related to click4gulu, but it seemed a reasonable place to put this:

“The Women’s World Summit Foundation (WWSF) invites nominations for its 15th annual prize for women’s creativity in rural life, honouring creative and courageous women and women’s organisations working to improve the quality of life in rural communities around the world.”

The prize is $3000 for organizations and $500 for laureates. LOL it seems there is a lot of fine print with the nominating process. But it seems to me that it would be worthwhile to see about making nominations.

Perhaps, Linda or Evvy could look over the nominations guidelines at some point. Then if some good ideas for nominations can come up maybe together we can make some nominations around the efforts of LiA in Gulu.

New Program and another way to earn money!!!!

We are now listed with Goodsearch.com and can start earning money every day. Here's how it works.

Go to http://www.goodsearch.com/
Select Life in Africa USA as your charity and click VERIFY
Now start doing searches.

Each time you search, Life in Africa earns .01. That may not seem like much but if enough people do it the amount can really add up. We could feasably earn enough each year to pay for the internet connections at both centers.

Each month I will take the amount earned and turn it into points (1 point for each search done). 1/3 of the points will go to Gulu, 1/3 to Kireka, 1/3 to the admin team.

Things to DO:

You must have Life in Africa selected and verified for the search to count
You must do ligitimate searches. They can be for anything or any word. Try and do at least 10 different searches per day/session.
Send out notices to all your friends on Facebook and other networks and ask them to do searches too.
Make sure all your team members know about this and help each other get started.

Thing NOT to Do:

Do not just keep searching the same thing over and over - this will disqualify us
Do not search for URLs - they do not count
Do not search for images or videos - they do not count
Do not do searches for pornography or illicit topics - this will disqualify us

If you have any questions, contact me.

Happy clicking!!!!!

Here is a sample of an email you can send to all your friends. You can just copy it and paste to make things really easy. Try and send to as many friends as possible. The more people we have searching for us, the more money we can earn.

What if Life in Africa USA earned a penny every time you searched the Internet? Or how about if a percentage of every purchase you made online went to support our cause? Well, now it can!

GoodSearch.com is a new Yahoo-powered search engine that donates half its advertising revenue, about a penny per search, to the charities its users designate. Use it just as you would any search engine, get quality search results from Yahoo, and watch the donations add up!

GoodShop.com is a new online shopping mall which donates up to 37 percent of each purchase to your favorite cause! Hundreds of great stores including Amazon, Target, Gap, Best Buy, ebay, Macy's and Barnes & Noble have teamed up with GoodShop and every time you place an order, you’ll be supporting your favorite cause.

Just go to www.goodsearch.com and be sure to enter Life in Africa USA as the charity you want to support. And, be sure to spread the word!

Is there some reason I don't know about that explains why my list of Gulu Clickers hasn't grown?
