My decision for the Charity Challenge Pool - $635
Hi all,
as promised here is my decision who will receive $635! For me this has not been an easy task. In fact more difficult than making the entry for the Challenge! There is so many organizations out there which I care for, but I had to choose one of them. I also had a small conference with Lorinda and Meryem about this subject too! Well, I will give the money to an small organisation in my country which work for preserving the Great 4 Predators in our fauna - Bear, Lynx, Wolverine and Wolf. All these animals are more or less endangered species in our country. And without making political statement (which I know is prohibited at this forum), some people, organizations and authorities in my country wants to eliminate them from our fauna! The organization is named "Foreningen Våre Rovdyr" website: Foreningen Våre Rovdyr - Forside (sorry in Norwegian Text Only!). I will try to update this thread with more information and pictures later on when I meet them to present the price money. Thanks! |
Good choice, Per Johan!
I'm sure they can find some good use for the money. |
Great work and choice. It seems very fitting :)
|
Great choice, PJ.
|
Score a win for the animals. Nice job, Per, what would the world be without the spirit of our wild brothers and sisters....
|
What an interesting site...and what a small world.
I was poking around on the site, marveling that I couldn't figure out even one word in Norwegian, when I found an article pertaining to wolves in the Rocky Mountains (where I live). Then I clicked on an ad for Sun Valley, Idaho--my home state! Can't wait to see the pictures of you presenting the donation. Maybe you could make one of those huge checks for everyone to hold! Or is that just a US thing? :) |

Go for it Per! :) |
Per,
What a terific choice!!! Makes me happy I donated too! |
Thanks all for your support!
I've been in touch with the people at "Våre Rovdyr" and they are overwhelmed about this price! I will meet with them, as soon as the price has been travelling across the Atlantic! Yes, it's true, even a money transfer will take nearly 1 week + across the sea. I have been thinking about the huge check picture, I have to ask my bank if they have them! Stay in touch! |
Over here we just make them our selves with card board and such. You get a real one that is standard size. The big one is just for show :) Congrats again :)

If Im right will you give me a low percentage? Say 5% after tax?
:D If Im wrong Ill buy you a coffee! ;-) |
Per - If you can get a few photos of you handing over the cheque or any of the charity people/place and of course the critters, it would be nice to put them up on the uwol site.
Anything you can get, forward to mdtmail@yahoo.co.uk Cheers Mat |
Yes, I will try to make some picture next weekend February 7-8. I've arranged a meeting with them that weekend.
Stay tuned! |
Any updates on the photos :)
