DonorsChoose Update: A Great Way to Celebrate Nobel Prize Week!

tags: , , , ,

The first day of Nobel Prize week has started off wonderfully: Diana from Omaha, Nebraska donated enough money to complete one DonorsChoose project that I included in my DonorsChallenge! Appropriately enough, in this project, Please Pass Me the Scalpel, Nurse, the teacher was asking for funds to help her students in a high-poverty classroom in Washington state gain more knowledge of medicine through the purchase of dissecting kits.

There are more proposals that need your help, so be sure to check them out by clicking on the above widget.

Remember: YOU can choose projects to fund as well. Just look through the proposals and let me know which one(s) you wish to fund, and I'll add them to the line-up.

I can also be convinced to do a weird stunt to inspire your donations, so put on your thinking caps to come up with something that you would like to see me do in exchange for your hard-earned dollars to support education. [No, I will not shave my head, so stop thinking that right now]

I am also working on setting up a prize program for my donors, so stay tuned for that!
