Thursday 28th January 2010 Philanthropic Casino Affiliate Challenges iGaming Webmasters to Ante Up for African Charity
CasinoRanking Donates $30K in Commissions to Malawi School Project Initiated by Slotland.com
28 January 2010 (Cayman Islands) – A successful, long-time Slotland.com affiliate has donated three years of commissions – more than $30,000 – to the school that Slotland built in rural Malawi. As affiliates prepare to gather in London to celebrate their success, Antoine Tardif of CasinoRanking.com challenges other webmasters to share their prosperity with less fortunate people.
Slotland provided more than $100,000 to boNGO Worldwide – a non-profit organization created by a small but dedicated group of American and Czech aid workers -- to fund the construction of the school and a nearby maize mill that continues to generate revenue to operate the school. The school has become a training center for primary school teachers in the area and is a model of sustainable development.
“After the initial year of funding for the Malawi project was complete it was just clear to me that boNGO had much more work to do so I kept the funding up,” said Tardif. “I find that grass root organizations are much more effective than larger non-profits. Large organizations seem to waste a lot on non-essentials such as office space and fund raising.”
Recently 42 children graduated from the primary school at the rural model childcare centre. Bongo Worldwide has set up a total of 14 schools and community based childcare centers now, all with trained teachers.
“One of the big focuses with boNGO has been on teaching sustainability which I personally find is important,” said Tardif. “A delicate balance between development and sustainability needs to be maintained to ensure the future of Malawi and its people.”
Tardif asks all successful casino affiliate webmasters to consider contributing to this very worthy cause. Information about recent and current projects as well as a PayPal donation form is available at www.boNGOWorldwide.com.
