You said "twinks" rather then tweaks. I just though I would point out to you that a twink is a young attractive homosexual male, it also has a connotation in WoW (which is even gayer then the other meaning, so I wont discuss that here).

Just thought I would help you out

edit here is quote

As far as playing during the project: It just seems wrong to me to play on the same account that has a bunch of donated cash. I figure I'll be busy most of the time in the next couple weeks working out some twinks anyway.

Haha, woops...ty.

great initiative! I agree that laziness is the main reason why we pokerplayers dont do this more often. i sent a little somethingsomething

hey guys

thanks to everybody who has donated, but especially KingKory for putting this shit together. this is a very significant amount of work he's doing here. this is seriously an awesome project, and like kory keeps saying, even a donation of 2-3 bucks is very much appreciated. he's made it ridiculously convenient to transfer funds, so it's really easy for anybody who plays online poker to ship him a few bucks.

make an account on UB so i can transfer some ;]

lol fucking saisaki. you baller.

TIME TO DONATE 700!

jk :D

but yea UB is my only available means for giving funds at the moment =[

Thanks Stygg That's another 2.5 kids right there!

Man, are there any ASP/HTML gurus here? I can't get these f-in tables to render correctly.

^ RE: Ultimate Bet - I'll probably add other networks after I renew/add children this month.

EDIT: And thanks for the words, twotimes.

Word, awesome idea, I love it, shipped some dough out

^ TY

So, I was thinking of maybe creating a thread on 2p2.

Do you think that would be okay with administration there? If so, which forum should I post it in?

this thread should be sticky, also would it be possible to do some of them for many months instead of just helping them one month and then not the next if theres not money enough?

Well, it's $35/month to sponsor one child.

There's also an option to just donate a mass amount of money per month.

We could:

1) Just give World Vision (or some other organization) a monthly donation of what we've accumulated.

2) Sponsor as many children per month as we possibly can (current plan).

3) Sponsor a selected handful of kids, but give them triple/quadruple the normal amount per month.

--

With our current plan, we'll have to drop sponsorship if we do not meet our quota.

E.g. at the end of the month, I will sponsor an additional 25 kids (man, that sounds crazy...it's like a whole classroom). If next month we can't come up with ~$850 needed to renew our sponsorships, we'll have to cancel a few of them.

I'm open to suggestions.

Personally I would prefer to sponsor fewer kids for a longer time, maybe a year or so to start and then you would have a year to make enough money to renew the sponsorship

I have a hard time giving them money for one month and then nothing the next month

imo option 3 is best
giving a child some food for one month then stop it isnt really usefull imo (i think having a shitty life is worst when uve experienced a decent life before. i mean hes gonna be all happy then BANG no more. sucks)

if you select a few childs and truly help them out, i think its gonna make more of a difference. i dont really know shit about this stuff thought

This is good...I'm as much a novice at this stuff as anyone else, tbh.

So maybe we should take the total amount we have...let's say $1k at the end of this month, and give a percentage per kid...let's say 10%.

So at the end of this month, we'll have a total of 10 kids @ $100/each.

This way, even if we come up a little short, we can still kick down a normal donation of $35 or so...or at the least not have to cancel so many sponsors.

Any other thoughts?

RE: Yearly renewals.

I'm wary of doing yearly renewals because I think people want to see their cash in action right away.

Also, we'll be able to see our results every month, instead of having to wait an entire year for updates.

I dont think option 3 is the best , no use in making them rich, its far better to just sponsor the stardart amount for a longer periode of time imo

well kory like floofy said the money is not really usefull if they can taste a normal life for one month and then its back to the shit hole and out of the school again

you could do something like, when you get 12 x 36$ you sponsor a new child for a year

i rather have a few of them live well than a bunch of them live just a little less shitty
come on what r they gonna do with 35$/month? its just enough to survive.

no read the page the 35$ is enough for food and school, I think they would rather have that secured for a longer time than beeing rich for a year and then have to quit school and no food again

This is true.

How about this:

Example: $1k of donations this month.

1. We put 20% of what we've collected each month aside ($200).

2. The remaining 80% ($800) goes toward monthly renewals/new sponsorships.

3. The 20% we spend on a generic donation to World Vision.

This way, we'll give ourselves a 20% buffer from getting in over our heads, and having to cancel sponsorships.

What do you think?

This would be great, if the 20% went towards renewal of the the ones we have now for next year instead or something like that, at some point of the year we should stop sponsering new kids and work towards renewal of the ones we got for the next year
