April Points4Prizes’ Bonuses

Ready to see what the bonuses are for Points4Prizes this month? ^_^ Well here they are!

 

Gift of Hope

This is a brand new feature for P4P, and I’m really excited about it. ^_^ It’s an easy way to earn 3,000 points, so listen up!

This month’s featured GlobalGiving.org project is the Japan Tsunami Animal Emergency Relief Program.

Aww… Sweet puppers!

For many people, pets ARE family, but they really go beyond that role. They help people cope with trauma, and the earthquake + tsunami definitely qualifies for that.

From the project listing:

Summary

For 134 years, American Humane Association’s Red Star Animal Emergency Services™ have responded to national and international needs for animal disaster relief. Immediately following the natural disasters in Japan on March 11, the Red Star team reached out to international partners to form a global coalition to help animal victims of the tragedy. The team set up a Japan Relief Fund, with 100 percent of donations going directly to help animals in Japan.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

On March 11, an 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan, followed by a deadly tsunami and ongoing nuclear emergencies. In addition to the thousands of humans killed and displaced by this tragedy, countless animals also became victims. When disaster strikes and evacuations take place, animals are often injured, lost or forgotten. With a reported 690,000 people evacuated or displaced from their homes, it is possible that up to a quarter of a million pets may require rescue and emergency sheltering.

How will this project solve this problem?

Already, American Humane Association’s Japan Relief Fund has contributed $10,000 and shipped a load of critically needed animal sheltering supplies to support local animal relief efforts in Japan. These funds went to the Japan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (JSPCA) and the Japan Animal Welfare Society (JAWS) — two local organizations that are providing shelter to animal victims of the disaster.

Potential Long Term Impact

The Red Star team continues to work with national and international partners to finalize plans for animal relief support in Japan. Through these ongoing efforts, the animal victims in Japan will receive the food, sheltering, medical treatment and care that they need until they are reunited with their families. With 59 percent of Japan’s population owning dogs and 31 percent owning cats, the scale and longevity of the impact of this relief work is huge.

Project Message

When disaster strikes I know that the toll on human emotions is great. I feel also that its very important to care for the pets and animals in a disaster area.
- Ginger Dickens, Japan Relief Efforts, Donation Participant

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $725
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $59,275

• $25 – Decontaminates 10 animals pulled from the toxic flood waters.
• $50 – Purchases 2 microchip scanners to reunite families with their pets.
• $75 – Purchases 2  medium transport animal crates to get animals to safety.

If you’re interested in donating and would like a 3,000 P4P bonus too, send me a GlobalGiving e-giftcard. (Please read this to understand why we’re doing it this way!) The minimum donation you can give is $10.00, but you can give as much as you want! Just know that the 3,000 bonus will not change.

Don’t care about points? You can donate directly to the Japan Tsunami Animal Emergency Relief Program! ^_^

Happy April Fools! Don’t worry, these P4P prizes are no joke. ^_^

 

*Audience groans*

 

Everyone’s a critic. :P

 

There’s one new prize this month, and that’s a $10 giftcard to GlobalGiving.org! You can either have it emailed to you or get a physical card in the mail. Remember, GlobalGiving giftcards can ONLY be used on GlobalGiving!

 

Of course, to win ANY of the prizes, you first have to be a member of Points4Prizes! And secondly you have to have enough points to trade in for the prize. ^_^

 

Prize	Cost	# Left	Sponsor
Unique Gamesville Art by Nick Sherman (The pic below is just an example!)	50,000 pts	1	Gamesville

There are a few limitations in picking a prize. Please read carefully!

1. You can claim only one prize a month. (This might change later.)
2. Because physical prizes include things like postage and shipping, virtual prizes will almost always be cheaper. 
3. For right now, physical prizes are available to the USA only. Darn that pesky postage!

To claim a prize just fill out this form. The # Left will be updated after each verified claim. I’ll aim to award virtual prizes once a week, but physical prizes will be sent out at the start of the next month.

If you’d like to sponsor a prize, click the Opportunities link and tell me all about it!

Have fun and good luck!!

 

If you’re reading this and think I’m writing in Splendiferen, I’m not! Points4Prizes is a really neat program here at Free2WinGames. As you can see, you get points from all sorts of things! You can turn the points in for some AWESOME prizes, including a beautiful SCENTED cookie ring by TinyHands!

GlobalGiving – Earn points by helping others! Or just do it to be nice. ^_^

I’ve wanted to introduce charity donations for a while, and thanks to a tip from @corosnark, I finally figured out how!

We’re going to use GlobalGiving.org. ^_^ It’s a site with over 1,000 pre-screened grassroots projects from around the world. A project might be about funding books for a school, providing food for a village, or surgery for abuse victims.

There is a ton of information on their How GlobalGiving Works and FAQ pages, and I’m satisfied that this is a safe and fun way to help others. Woohoo!!

Now if you couldn’t guess by the title, I really want to incorporate this with Points4Prizes, both as a way to earn points and a way to spend points. Here’s the plan!

 

How to Earn Points With GlobalGiving

Each month when I list the new Points4Prizes bonuses I’ll include info on a specific project. If you’re not part of P4P but you want to support the cause anyway, please donate directly to the project! (I’ll include links for that.)

If you’re a P4P member and would like to earn points from your donation, send a GlobalGiving e-giftcard to:

and I’ll donate the giftcard to the project. An e-giftcard is solid proof that you donated, without the hassle of sharing PayPal info with me or trying to take screenshots. In other words, this is the easiest solution that I could find!

GlobalGiving requires a minimum donation of $10, but you can donate as much as you want! In return you’ll earn 3,000 P4P points. (You can earn this bonus only once a month.)

PLEASE be sure to put your Disqus name in the “From” section so I know who gets the reward points! And yes, this means that you can donate on behalf of another P4P member too. ^_^

 “From” is NOT optional! I really need a name to work with!

The plight of women and children around the world is very important to me, so be aware that I’ll pick projects that focus on them. If you spy a different GlobalGiving project that you’d LOVE to donate to, please detail it in the message box so I can send your donation there!

IMPORTANT: GlobalGiving giftcards can ONLY be used towards projects on the GlobalGiving website.  I can’t take the giftcards and go buy a Porsche or anything. ^_^ And they thoroughly vet each project to make sure that it’s legitimate.

Another great thing about the e-giftcards is that they never expire! If for some reason I kick the bucket before I use the donation, the money won’t go to waste. After a year they’ll allocate the funds to wherever it’s needed.

“Shit Happens” Clause: If you make a donation via e-giftcard and forget to include your name, please send me an email ASAP! I can figure out that unnamed giftcard + panicked email = someone forgot to label. ^_^

I’ll send a confirmation email once the giftcard is used, and that shouldn’t take more than a day. If you haven’t heard from me, PLEASE send me an email!

 

How To Spend Points on GlobalGiving

Starting in April I’m going to add a new prize to the Points4Prizes table. Can you guess what it is? ^_^ It’ll be a $10 GlobalGiving e-giftcard!

It will cost 10,000 points, and the giftcard will go directly to your email. From there you can pick which project you want to use it on!

If you’d like to sponsor a giftcard, please send me a message in the form below and we can iron out the details.

 

 

Why The Points Are Different

You might be wondering why you can only earn 3,000 points for donating $10+, but buying a $10 donation giftcard costs 10,000 points!

Well, here’s why. ^_^

I know not everyone has time to dig through posts and comment, or tackle the Weekly Challenge and fight to reach the high scores table. Sometimes life is incredibly hectic, and I understand that. So I wanted to have an option where people could do something good for humanity and be able to earn some reward points.

However, I don’t want this to turn into a system where people “buy” points and then grab all of the prizes! That isn’t fair to those who work hard for their points through “regular” methods, and it isn’t fair to the sponsors. That’s why I’m limiting it to 3k points a month from donations. It lets people get involved, even if they don’t have a lot of time to spare, but it doesn’t devalue the work that others have to do!

As for the P4P prize table, the entire point of having GlobalGiving giftcards available is so that people who can’t spare $10 still have the option to donate. They can turn in virtual points for a cash donation that will help someone else have a better life. I know I’m biased, but I think that’s kinda cool. ^_^

Of course, you’re welcome to trade in your points however you wish! I just wanted to have the option there, ya know?

 

I plan on keeping a running total of ALL donations, both from cash donations and giftcards purchased with points. This total will be published on both the monthly prize table and the new bonuses, cuz I’m darn proud of you all. ^_^ Some of the projects may send updates on what they’re doing with the funds, and I’ll share those too!

For now, here’s a project that I *hope* might reach their target before the end of March. If they don’t then I’ll post it again for April. [TW for rape.]

Restore Health And Dignity of 150 Congolese Women

Summary

The project provides survivors of rape and gender violence in the eastern DRC (Democratic Republic of the Congo) with comprehensive services that help women find safety and start to heal their bodies, souls and minds.

What is the issue, problem, or challenge?

Rape is one of the most powerful weapons deployed in the prolonged conflict in the eastern DRC. It not only damages bodies but also tears apart lives and communities. For women and girls who survive, medical assistance is critical but rarely sufficient. Long-term recovery also requires a safe space where women start to heal their bodies, minds and souls. HEAL Africa, which has provided care for 15,000 women and girls since 1996, provides comprehensive services to survivors of gender violence.

How will this project solve this problem?

With 300 counselors, HEAL Africa runs 28 community houses (Wamama Simameni, or Women Stand Up Together) in North Kivu and Maniema where survivors go after surgery for food, shelter, psychosocial support, economic assistance and cultural activities.

Potential Long Term Impact

Guided by artists and facilitators, women learn to externalize their pain and speak freely with peers about the social problems they face. They also discuss women’s rights and their role in the peace process, gaining tools to build social stability.

Project Message

I have received two operations by the doctors at HEAL Africa. When it’s time to leave for home, they are going to help me buy other items that will let me start a small business. I am now respectable.
- Karima Feza, rape victim

Funding Information

Total Funding Received to Date: $4,583
Remaining Goal to be Funded: $417
Total Funding Goal: $5,000

A donation of $10 lets one survivor stay at a HEAL house for a month, and gives her time to regain her health. If you don’t want P4P points, click here to donate. Want P4P points? Send me a GlobalGiving e-giftcard and I’ll send it to them, then I’ll add 3,000 points to your Points4Prizes account.

If you have any questions about this new addition, or any feedback on the points, please leave a comment below or send me a message. I hope you’re as excited about this as I am! ^_^

Welcome to the Free2WinGames blogiversary spectacular!! ^_^ Points4Prizes is the best way I know to reward you guys, so you’ll see a lot of that this week! 

1. To kick it off, every P4P member is getting 500 points, just for being part of the program! WOOHOOO!!

2. Any new members who join this week will get 250 points because I’m all happy. ^_^

3. Everything is worth double points this week!! Comments, linkster, friend invites, everything. (Best Tip/Comment were already double, and they will remain at 200 points. And yes, everyone is STILL a Lucky Linkster this week too!)

But wait, there’s more!

 

Even More

Each day this week I’ll post new trivia questions regarding the site. P4P members will get points but you can tackle them just for fun too. ^_^ All of the answers are found on the site!

For each day you answer trivia, your score will multiply.

• Day 1 = score x1
• Day 2 = (scores for days 1 + 2) x 2
• Day 3 = (scores for days 1 + 2 + 3) x 3

And so on.  The truly dedicated readers can pick up over 1000 points just from trivia!

If you miss a day, please don’t stress out! I understand that you have a life, so I’m just counting the total days that you answer. If you answered Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, then you’ll get the 3x bonus on whatever questions you answered correctly. ^_^ There is NO penalty for wrong answers!

IMPORTANT: The trivia will be in a post, and you’ll need to click in the boxes to type your answers. At the very end is a “Submit” button. Hit that and I’ll get your answers! DO NOT post them in a comment! Everyone will be able to see them if you do that. :P

Ready to tackle it? Here’s today’s trivia!

 

That’s it! ^_^ Again, please do NOT put the answers in a comment! The form will take care of everything. Promise! <3

Stay tuned this week for more trivia and a special guest post! ^_^ Oh, and guides, of course. Those are still around too!

P4P Week #14 Winners and Bonuses!

 

This week we’ll have a fun celebration for the blogiversary, but this post is just on the normal P4P stuff. ^_^ Stay tuned!

 

Curious how you did this past week? You can see your current score on this chart.

 

Best Tip – mbif

Plant knowledge is easier to pick up than you might think! Start with a simple book on the topic with plenty of good photos and learn to identify the plants in your area, and then start to work your way out from there. Do lots of cross-referencing between books, plant ID websites, etc. I've even managed to find an obscure book on traditional native medicine online in .pdf. The deeper you dig, the more and more you'll find, and plants like this grow everywhere! It is very awesome stuff.

That was on last week’s Open Discussion thread, and although it wasn’t a game tip, I still enjoyed it. ^_^ Thanks!

 

Weekly Challenge Winner

No P4P members landed on the SwapIt high scores this week. Right now our group is really  small, so always give the weekly challenge a shot! ^_^
