"The Legend Grows" |
 |
I
obtained this colony by chance in or around 2001. In addition I
have a matching zoanthids colony, as to where I believe this to
be Palythoa or Protopalythoa. After about 1 year the specimen began
coloring up and I sold off about 15 fragments for $25-$35 bucks
each,ironically most of these people complained about the piece
when they got it. The colony at that time still was not mature,
not reaching it's full beauty. The following year I sold propagation's
for about $40 bucks and people were outraged, So I stopped but soon
saw them selling on ebay for about $200. I thought if people would
pay that much I'm going to put what I have to good use. I had always
dreamed of sponsoring 100 children through CCF. As a youngster my
family sponsored this organization as long as I could remember.
Now as an adult I want to follow in the footsteps of my parents.
Being these came from somewhere in Indonesia I have chose to concentrate
the sponsorship efforts there. |

Purple People Eater Fund
Drive 2003 |
In 2003, I donated a portion of each person's shipping bill to a
charity that I had supported for over a year now. Christian Children's
Fund sponsors children all around the world. The total for the single
month fund drive generated enough to sponsor two children for an
entire year. As i receive information from CCF I will post to this
page so you can read about Admin and Maria. I hope to run a different
fund drive each quarter, so if you involved with a charity please
feel free to contact me. |

Admin
has known only poverty and privation in his young life. He
lives with his parents and his brother in a very simple house,
earthen floor without private bathroom and electricity in
East Nusa Tenggara. His father works as a farm laborer, but
his income is meager and the work so irregular.His mother,
although she tries to make the most of the little, she cannot
do much with her husband's low income. The family's annual
income is around US$ 103. As the child is desperately in need
of help with clothing, food and educational supplies, we are
happy to welcome him to our family group. Admin is his nickname.
He is studying in the Primary School. His favorite subject
is Mathematics. Being at home he helps his mother to run errands.
His health condition is average and his hobby is playing toys.

Maria
Fransiska was born into a desperately poor family in East
Nusa Tenggara. She lives with her parents only in a simple
house made of wooden wall, bad sanitation without electricity
and private bathroom. Her father tries hard to earn a living
by working as a peasant, but he earns very little that it
is impossible to meet the family's needs. Her mother, although
resourceful at trying to make the most of the little, cannot
do much with her husband's low income. The annual income of
the family is around US$ 134.00. It is painfully obvious that
the child needs help if she wants to get proper nourishment,
clothing and better attention. When we learn of her needs,
we are happy to welcome her to our big family. Siska is her
nickname. Her health condition is average and she makes good
progress. Her hobby is playing dolls. |

Purple People Eater Fund
Drive 2004 |
In
2004, I ran a fund drive that revolved around the Perun's Purple
People Eater. Stage one was selling raffle tickets (winning
number 3161) at store level and phase two was
an Ebay auction. The total cash raised will sponsor 7 children for
one year. Both EBay High bidder's companies matched the donation
to CCF. Originally we though this could be funneled to support the
children but afterwards learned it had to be a blanket donation.
At any rate the 2004 Drive was a great success. |
