A Search Made a Child Saved?

As we all know the economy has not been our best friend within the past year and does not look to make a comeback for a while. Depressing, I know. I sympathize with the families, friends, and individuals who have been led to World Orphans website and have sat there frustrated that their lack of finances are not allowing them to give to such a wonderful God blessed organization. I know of several friends who have teared up when they say “I just want to help but I cannot help out financially, I’m sorry”.

BUT now you can by just a click of your finger!

*The nonprofit agencies kicked off the GoodSearch fund-raiser last month. GoodSearch is an Internet search engine that donates a penny (or more) for each search to charities chosen by its users.*

This is a unique opportunity for ANYONE to get involved and give without changing any routine, spending extra time or having to cringe when you think about finances (well, at least not anymore than you have already). For every search 1 penny (NOT YOUR OWN but you earned it) will be donated to the World Orphans Cause. That is your contribution to World Orphans. This doesn’t cost you anything but the time you will already be spending on the computer. This is great for EVERY SINGLE PERSON- teens, college kids, adults, business’ who desire to help.

There are 3 ways in which you can help out.

SOME FACTS YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW

*According to GoodSearch Internet search engines generated $6 billion last year in revenue from advertisers who pay a fee each time users click on links to their Web sites*

-The average Internet user spends close to 3 hours per day online. This exceeds the time that an average respondent spends watching TV, which is about 1.7 hours per day.

-The Internet is, perhaps more than anything else, a means of communication – about 57% of the time on the Internet is spent on email, instant messaging, or at chat rooms. However, unlike the phone, the Internet enables a wide range of activities beyond communication. The remaining 43% of time on the Internet – that is, the time online that is not spent on some type of communication – is spent playing games (20.3% of the 43%, or about 8.7% of the total), surfing (15% of the 43%), shopping (10% of the 43%), among a wide variety of other things.
