Help Deaf and Blind Children

I am at the underground internet marketing conference in los Angeles with Yanik Silver, Founder of the event and founder of my new project Maverick Business Adventures. One of the challenges we made to over 350 attendees was:

What can you do with US$100 in the next 24 hours to help the world? We are calling it: MBA Big Give.

The winner James Schranko from Australia created a website from scratch to help deaf and blind children worldwide. I was touched and know his efforts will make a difference. I encourage you to  provide a backlink, a donation and see what you can do today to make a BIG Give and a Big Difference in the world.

Blessing, Tim Warren
