Online Gambling Insider, a leading gaming portal, is supporting Slotland.com. The slots and video poker casino is supporting a community center it built in Malawi, and is raising funds for additional projects. The portal has donated $500 to the initiative and issues a challenge to the industry to make a pledge.
(PRWEB) February 20, 2008 -- Slotland has single handedly supported the entire project and they will gladly accept all the help they can get. Slotland.com has launched a website to enable members of the public to make donations. (visit http://www.help-malawi-children-charity.org).
Malawi is without a doubt one of the countries in Africa suffering the most under the weight of poverty and AIDS. Education is the key to ending the cycle of poverty and ignorance about the disease in that country. The school is located in a poor village and its opening last October signaled a new era of hope for one impoverished village.
To see the dedication of the Slotland team, and the amazing results they have achieved in what is a challenging environment, deserves the utmost respect.
The project was started two years ago, when a small group of dedicated aid workers approached Slotland.com for a donation. To their credit Slotland was so touched by the project that they committed to provide all construction funding and support to the center until it is self-sufficient.
People can read the inspiring story of how the Project Team brought a whole village together to build the Umodzi-Mbame School. The fundraising website (http://www.help-malawi-children-charity.org) explains how donations will be used to assist neighboring villages that have started similar projects on their own. Donations toward current and new projects can be made on the site through secure PayPal payment processing.
"When Slotland initially announced the building of the school we ran the story on our news network but we felt that a project such as this needs every little bit of support it can get," said Ryan D, Founding Editor at Online Gambling Insider. "To see the dedication of the Slotland team, and the amazing results they have achieved in what is a challenging environment, deserves the utmost respect."
It is to this end that Online Gambling Insider has pledged $500 to the cause and are challenging gambling operators, affiliates and players to make a donation. "We are hoping to appeal to the competitive nature of people in our industry, and we hence lay down this challenge."
The Project Team in Africa has registered a non-profit organization called boNGO Worldwide which is committed to assisting communities develop self-sustaining projects. boNGO is an acronym for "Based On Need-driven Grassroots Ownership". They have completed many wonderful projects such as the building of maize mill which will provide an ongoing income to support their work."
boNGO's diligent work has already changed the lives of hundreds of children but there are many more that need food, education and hope. "What we really like about this initiative is that there are no administrative costs. "Every penny goes directly to the Project Team in Malawi," says Ryan. "Charitable organizations are often burdened by red tape, which interferes with their true motive. boNGO is clearly about delivering results."
Online Gambling Insider makes a plea to the online gambling industry as a whole to visit http://www.help-malawi-children-charity.org and make a donation.
