This month, Beliefnet has teamed up with Tom Davis and Daniel Clark at Children’s HopeChest to raise support for orphans in Africa. You’ll see my charity badge on the right, and you can donate directly to CHC from that badge–as little as $10 at a time. (If you’re a blogger, please consider adding the badge to your blog for this month. Click the “Share” tab on the badge to see how.) 

I don’t need to tell you about the urgency of this cause. But I do need to tell you that this month, you can win a free trip to Africa with Tom Davis. You’d go sometime in 2009 and tour orphanages with him in Uganda, Ethiopia, or Swaziland. It’d blow your mind, rock your world, and if you’re lucky, change you for good. Enter if you dare. 

You can enter the contest whether you donate or not, and donating does not help your chances of winning. 

But you know the right thing to do. If you blog about this, tell your friends, or promote it in any way, please let me know: pdodd@beliefnetstaff.org
