You search, they donate

Providing clean water – one way CAM is serving in Central America

Here’s something you might not have known.  If you search the internet, you can make a donation to support ministry in the Spanish speaking world at the same time – without actually spending any money!

The search engine is called GoodSearch, and it’s powered by the popular Yahoo! search engine.  When you go to their main page, you can type in CAM International (you know you want to) as your preferred charity.  Then, every time you search they will donate a small amount of money to the organization.

Better yet, you can add a search toolbar to Internet Explorer, Firefox, or Safari.  (One note of caution – sometimes your preference can get wiped out – it doesn’t hurt to return to the website once in a while to make sure your charity is still selected)

But there’s more (I just discovered)… you can also donate by shopping at one of the many online merchants that are represented here.  Places like eBay, Target, iTunes, Barnes & Noble and 1-800-flowers.com.  Oops – sometimes I shop at these places… I wish I’d known this before!

Of course, if you’re buying from amazon.com you can support us directly by clicking the link.  🙂  The Cottrill family will get a percentage of whatever you buy.

With Christmas just around the corner, this is something to keep in mind if you’ll be doing any shopping online.

If you want to get an idea of the kinds of ministries you’ll be helping with your searches, check out CAM’s Christmas catalogue.  Spread the word, and get your friends searching too!  A lot of people doing a little searching can make a big difference.
