To generate funds for the activities, FAHC had set forth a goal of raising $3360 (14 children x $240 for a year support) in 2007.  An online Donaline Smiles I event began at www.feedahungrychild.org website using ChipIn widget and Pay Pal donation option.  Food blogger Indira of Mahanandi joined in the event and spearheaded it togeher with many fellow food bloggers.  A raffle fundraiser was arranged with some very exciting prizes.  Details can be found here. 

There have been some great donors, who have parted with some impressive amount of cash and some have come together as a batch and made collective donations. Donors used three channels for donations - via Chip-in widget using credit cards, directly through Pay Pal, checks addressed and sent to feedahungrychild.org Trust address by post, and direct bank tranfers to feedahungrychild.org Trust bank account.  The fundraising goal of $3360 was met and exceeded in a short period of time. Donate Smiles I fundraising event result - 102 donors raised $4735.
