At least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day, while 75 million children worldwide are not in school. By pooling surprisingly small investments, we can help to significantly improve educational access and economic development. It’s called
The Small Things Challenge , and
partnering with Kiva and Save the Children , it’s a campaign based on the premise that every small action can make a big difference to ensure quality education and economic opportunity for all. We challenge you to join us in becoming a part of the solution. When you click on the link below, Intel will donate 25¢ per click for you to help.

I just noticed today that the
home page for the challenge now features a thermometer-like graph...
showing this quarter's goal of 300,000 is sitting at
only 15000 ...
John and I both have it as the default home page for our browsers...
Anyone else out there think they can click more often?
We're also trying to get our friends on Facebook and Twitter to join in...

I also have it as my home page. And I have been meaning to post about it here but I haven't gotten around to it. I click as much as I can!

As the number on the page was still on 15,000 today I have sent an email to Intel to find out how often they update it. Here is the answere I got within one hour (!):
"Dear Ms. Lichtenthaeler,
Thank you for your note and support of Intel's Small Things Challenge program. The counter on the small thing challenge program web site provides a reference gauge for the program, but due to budget limitations is not updated real-time. It will be updated manually every two weeks.
Please let me know if you have additional questions.
Thanks,
Lana"
So looking forward to see what we have reached in two weeks from now on. Click away!

There must have been a change in their 'budget restrictions'
I just clicked and on 'refresh' the number changed...
we are up to 27,916
keep clicking everyone

This is really weird. For me the number is 28,303 and not changing even after I have clicked several times. Seems they still have to work on this...
