Wifi4CREA, an Engineers Without Borders USA project, is participating in an online fundraising challenge at GlobalGiving.com and they need your help!
A group of Bay Area Sun employees is helping to provide fast and cheap internet access for a biological field research and education center located in the Cocobolo Nature Reserve in Panama called CREA (Conservation through Research Education and Action). CREA is a non-profit organization with a mission to protect and restore rainforests in Central America. More efficient internet access will enrich the education programs offered the regions local farmers and help scientists conduct their biological research.
The challenge is to raise $3,000 from 75 unique donors within a three week period, November 1 - November 21, 2008. 75 unique donors means that donations must come from at least 75 different people. The two organizations that raise the most money will receive additional monetary rewards: $4,000 for the first place winner and $1,000 for the second place winner.
