Donation to Wikimedia Foundation

Filed in: Charity and Donations, Web — November 29th, 2007

As promised, I made a donation with the collected 27th Birthday Fund. The donation goes to Wikimedia Foundation, which operas Wikipedia and other Wiki-projects.

Why give to Wikimedia?

I have been thinking about who should receive the donation since I have collected the money. I saw the Wikipedia fundraising banner before, but what caused me to make this decision is the following picture on the Wikimedia fundraising blog “Why Give to Wikimedia?”

Village School, Kuito, Angola

Together with the collected $52USD, I donated $60USD to Wikimedia. If 99 other donate the same amount, then it is enough fund for Wikimedia to send 3 students to their annual Wikimania conference.

The following messages are to be shared with the 16 contributors of my 27th birthday fund. :)

Wikimedia: Thank you for your donation!

    hey that’s really cool! Keep the donation spirit going.

    Maybe something similar should be done to help improve education quality in the underprivileged communities around the ASEAN region as well too.

    Charity is something very important to keep in mind if we want to have a good financial position. It is like a life-law that multiplies us what we give to others (in the long term). Congratulations Liew.

    Do a good deed after you have money to spare is a great and holy action. We should donate regularly to help those poor people to make their live easier.
    Great Activities, Liew!

    This was a good deed that we should do. The more money we give, we will be returned with more money, keep it up, Liewck.
    Have a nice day.
