I have set the next Vexel for Charity day to be on the 30th July - that gives everyone plenty of time to get something together, no excuses ;p Again I chose a Sunday because that seems to be the busiest day. It will probably be Saturday-ish for US people.
For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, I will explain what VFC day is.
For every vexel that is submitted to the site, I will donate $1 to charity. Last time we managed to raise $89 but this time I hope we raise more! MORE!!
Like last time, I will put up a notice in the side bar saying something like "Tomorrow is vfc day!" and then for the duration of the day I will have up a thing saying "TODAY is vfc day!!". Keep in mind the time differences (it'll start/finish mid-morning in AU time) but either way it's open for 24 hours :)
..Where does the money come from? The ads that you see on the site. Google pay me to put them there.. I love google.
And lastly.. the charity that we'll be donating to is Unicef : http://www.unicef.org/
They actually give you the choice of what area your money is sent to, there is:
East Timor Appeal, Indonesian Earthquake Appeal, Education Appeal, Oral Rehydration Therapy, Silent Emergencies Appeal, Crisis in Darfur Western Sudan, Malnutrition/Drought Appeal, Global Aids Campaign, Pakistan Earthquake Appeal.
If you have a preference I'll keep them in mind. I like the Silent Emergencies Appeal but they're all important :) |

This is really nice. I've always wanted to help out in different ways :) Can we submit more than one vexel? And it's every vexel submitted that day, right? |

Goody. I can't contribute anything unless I make something in Paint :(. I'm using my aunt's computer. I don't have access to Illustrator. |

Aw It's nice that we're doing another VFC day :) Unfortunately, I wont be able to participate again :( It's right in the middle of all my exams, and my majorwork vexels take priority.
Hopefully we can do another one around .. say... Late november? *cough* |

Yay, I hope I have something to add that day. My boyfriend is coming over for two weeks (he's coming the 12th of july) so I won't be using my pc as much..
But I think I still have enough finished vexels on my pc, that I haven't uploaded yet..
I think the Global Aids Campaign would be a good charity to give the money to.. |

Just a note: You might want to increase the amount of vexels we can all upload daily to more than three otherwise well... we might get stuck ;) |

Well, if I finish any vexels by then, I'll definetely wait to post it 'til it counts (VfC). And I agree with Sarah, you should do something with the vexel submission limit for then. |
