Support Passports with Purpose 2009
Passports with Purpose is back for another year, this time with the goal of raising $13,000 to build a school in rural Cambodia, through American Assistance for Cambodia.
Passports with Purpose, for those of you who haven’t heard of it, is an annual fundraiser organized by four travel bloggers: Debbie Dubrow of DeliciousBaby, Pam Mandel of Nerd’s Eye View, Michelle Duffy of WanderMom and Beth Whitman of Wanderlust and Lipstick. It works as a raffle, with travel bloggers sponsoring a prize which donors can nominate as their preferred prize.
Last year, the Passports with Purpose fundraiser raised $7,420 for Heifer International. With this year’s goal set at $13,000, the stakes have been raised.
Our Prize: $250 Accommodation Voucher
Last year, TravelBlogs missed the boat on sponsoring a prize for the fundraiser, but we’re doing our bit this year. We’re contributing a $250 accommodation voucher for use on Travellerspoint’s budget accommodation area.
Here’s what you need to know:
- The Travellerspoint accommodation voucher will be delivered digitally to the lucky winner and is valid for use any time before January 1, 2011.
- All donations go directly to American Assistance for Cambodia, which will be using the funds to build a school in Cambodia. They are a 501 (c)(3) charity.
- Each raffle ticket costs $10. You can buy multiple tickets and nominate different prizes, or nominate the same prize more than once to increase your chances.
- See all the Passports with Purpose rules here.

Great cause, I encourage everyone to take part. Cambodia is an awesome country and deserves all the help it can get.

I read about this in another blog and I say this is a wonderful thing for travel bloggers to do — work together for a good cause. I checked on this and the goal was met. Awesome!
