Shower of Awards – Thank You!

Sharing is caring!

I have been honoured with a lot of Awards during the past few weeks but a lot of events have got me out of my scheduled program.

First of all I made this unexpected trip to Switzerland, which was a last minute decision and coming back I had lots of e-mails and the google reader had more than three hundred posts, which I am still striving to read but each day more are add to it. I hope that you will forgive me if I have not yet visited you but I hope that tomorrow I will try and read all the posts in my reader.

Soon after my return I had the roundup of the World Food Day Event to prepare and at the same time Val, of More than Burnt Toast, Giz, of Equal Opportunity Kitchen and I were discussing ways to contribute more substantially to the World Food Program, so we were working on BloggerAid, as well.

Although BloggerAid is still in its infant stage, I began writing this post with nine members and by the time I finished the post we had three more and so we are now twelve members and hope that day by day we will be growing.

Please come and join us! It’s free. Some may think that by joining you will have to pay something.

No. You don’t. You may donate but only if you feel like doing this.

Through our efforts we are looking for ambassadors in as many countries as possible to become the representatives of their corner of the world. It’s not necessary to have just one ambassador per country. If you feel you have a contribution to make we really would love to hear from you.

Your contribution as a Member or an Ambassador could be…but not limited to:

1) As simple as raising awareness on your blog for world hunger
2) Hosting an event that connects with this key issue (we have already had several volunteers!!!)
3) Hosting a fundraiser small or large that can generate money for the World Food Programme , the United Nations’ frontline agency
4) Drawing media attention to all of our efforts
5) Provide something that can be auctioned through our forum… a cookbook or any other object of your choice that may be for this purpose with proceeds to be noted as a donation by your country (It is exciting to note we already have some donations as well!!!!)
6) Endorsements by people in the food business… chefs, restaurateurs, publishers of cookbooks, critics, online food based programs or communities.

We can’t stand alone. We need you.

Now to the Awards.

I have never mentioned that I have a page only for the Awards and I hope that you have checked it out. There is so much love in the blogosphere.
