Hey guys! I posted this over at the "old" JC Campgrounds too, but I thought I'd try to spread the word as much as possible! :D
As you probably know, Jeremy and the crew support a great child sponsorship organization called Compassion International. I would highly encourage people to sponsor a child if possible, but I know that financial situations don't always allow for that.
So how can you help (for FREE)?
Go to http://www.searchkindly.org (powered by Google) and use it as your search engine! It's that easy!
Each month they choose a non-profit to donate all advertising money to, and this month's recipient (month of May) is Compassion! They say that just by making Search Kindly your default homepage you can add about $3 to the total amount to be donated. Cool stuff!
Thanks for reading...and I hope you'll use Search Kindly (http://www.searchkindly.org) this month and help out Compassion!

I'll be glad to help them out in this way. How long does it last for?

How long does it last for?
It's just until the end of May for Compassion, and then for June they'll have a different non-profit organization.
Thanks for jumping on board guys and gals! Tell everyone you know! :)

Alright..so basically if you just use it and set it as your home page they get money? How easy it is to make a difference.

Yep...easy! They donate all of their advertising profits to the chosen charity for the month. So the more eyes that see the ads, the more money they raise!

But since it's page loads what about like the same computer/ip adress hitting the same page?

Repeat visits help, but not as much as new hits from different computers.
This blog (http://blog.compassion.com/search-kindly/) from Compassion's website might help explain a little. :)

While you're there, vote for WorldVision! That's the organization that Third Day supports.

Another great child sponsorship organization! Thanks for the heads up on that one, Kelly! I hadn't scrolled down to see that.

Just a reminder...you can still help out Compassion International (through next week, so we've got about a week and a half to go).
Their goal was $1000, and right now there's only about $563, so be sure to keep using searchkindly.org (http://www.searchkindly.org) for your searches!

Use Search Kindly (http://www.searchkindly.org) for your Google searches!!
This week is our last chance to generate money for Compassion through Search Kindly. Right now the total is getting close to $780, but their goal for the month is $1000. (From what I've seen on the site, I don't think they've ever reached the $1000 mark, so let's set the record!!)
They generate revenue (donation money) through advertising, so the more eyeballs that view the site, the more the total will rise! Thanks for helping out, and let's continue to make the total grow!! :)
