Putting the ‘bling’ in ‘blogging’

(SG & MY) Sponsored Post Opportunity - Christmas For Payatas

This coming Christmas, use your blog to earn from a sponsored posting opportunity, and do a good deed by helping people know more about the plight of children in Payatas, The Philippines. This posting opportunity is open to both Singapore & Malaysia.

Description
The landfill in Payatas, The Philippines, is notoriously known the world over as Smokey Mountain. For over 35 years, the smoking dump site has grown to become a stark and heart-tugging reminder of the desperate conditions of humanity.

On a daily basis, children pick through newly arrived garbage to collect material to sell. The earnings made by one child are not
enough to even buy food for the day. Hence, entire families are forced to climb the mountain each day, hoping to earn enough to feed everyone. Children as young as four years old are forced to work in this daily struggle for survival.

In response to the plight of these children, Totedaddy is working with Lighthouse Center For Children Foundation to bring a little cheer to the children this Christmas.

Totedaddy has kicked off with a cash sponsorship of USD 10,000 to enable the children to celebrate Christmas. FusionExcel International has also pitched in a USD 5,000 in cash sponsorship. The money raised will help fund the projects already in place, and help fund additional projects aimed at providing better housing, and a means of livelihood for the Payatas community.

It is hoped that by creating better awareness to the plight of these children, more support can be garnered towards their betterment. Together we can bury poverty!

Post Requirements:
- To link to http://www.christmasforpayatas.com/ as an image url and/or by anchored text
- highlight the deplorable conditions of the children living, working in and around the dump site
- draw attention to the YouTube video, which highlights the situation
- that this is a charity appeal, and that we are raising donations for Christmas
- that there are many prominent supporters for the good cause, from footballers (from both Manchester United & Arsenal!), politicians, celebrities, etc
