As a few people may have realised, the 40 Hour Famine is on the 15th to the 17th August. This years Focus Country is India
http://www.worldvision.com.au/40hourfamine/index.asp
null7th largest country in area in the world 1.1 billion people Sub-continental country sitting between the Middle East and Asia 300 million people live on less than US$1 per day 4 out of 10 people can't read or write Almost half of all kids under five are malnourished
Poverty in India
India is going through an economic boom. But even with all this money, India still has more poverty than any country on earth. Confused? Here are some reasons why there's poverty in India:
India is BIG. With so many people, it's hard to get resources spread out evenly. A high level of illiteracy. There are A LOT of people who can't read or write. For these people it's really hard to earn money, so they have to work in the fields, in sweat shops or picking up rubbish, just so they can buy enough food to eat. The caste system. India has a traditional cultural system called the 'caste system'. Although it has been outlawed, in practice it's still very influential. For the huge number of people at the bottom of ladder it's really hard to get an education or a better job.
Every $40 helps 8 kids for a month!
What has this got to do with eve you might?
Well I currently have enough cash saved to buy me a new toon via gtc's and when I heard about the $40 Hour Famine I decided to try something.
For every 100mill isk that is donated to me, I will donate $10 towards the 40 Hour Famine. It doesn't matter how much you donate, even as little as 5 mill. 5mill from 20 people equals too 100mill boom there is 10$ towards the children in India.
Please Donate the Money to this toon and add the line 40 Hour Famine.

Edited by: Satrani Destiva on 29/07/2008 13:02:37 How do you intend to prove that you are making these donations?
I think it's a worthy cause that would cost no-one any real world money, HOWEVER, if this is a scam (as I suspect it may be) it's got to be right up there with the sickest of them.
If you can somehow prove beyond doubt that what you are doing is legit I will donate, otherwise I am standing on the scam side of the fence on this one.

I also think that if this were a scam you would have to pretty twisted to do it. Off the top of my head the only way i can think of right now is to upload scans of the 40 Hour Famine cards at the end of it. If you can think of more ways please let me know

I really wish I knew if this was a scam or not.
If it's not a scam: - Then good initiative on your part, although why not just donate the money anyway.
If it is a scam: - Then congratulations, you are the sickest scammer there ever was. --------------------------------- From #eve-chaos [11:47am] Ulviirala: my damn balls are bigger than these veldspar roids |

daily bump guess this was deemed to fail from the begining with all the scamers out there know one trusts anyone, even if its 5 mill, it's to much to risk. People who have this game do have morals.
In response to "why don't you just give it to them"
i have a set ammount that is going to be sent ontop of this.

Um...why would this be a scam? It cost 36 bucks to get 60days GTC which is worth 400 mil. Oh wait, never mind...
Need weapons? Ammo? All at less than market price? Lance Heavy Industries |
