$51,880

We're doing everything from building an orphanage to serving some of the needs of an AIDS colony in Ethiopia. On a whim, we put together a catalog with the hope of coming up with a $25,000 idea.

The updated amount of what we've given is $51,880! Check out some of the purchases that have been made:

305 goats for families in Ethiopia
1517 bricks to build an orphanage in Uganda
4.2 houses for elderly women in Malawi
29 girls sponsored in Thailand to go through a year of classes to finish their high school education.

So pumped about this! Looking specifically at when people made purchases, it appeared that Christmas eve and Christmas day were the highest sold. We surmised that most got the catalog a week or two before, brought it back to their families and purchased items together. What an incredible act of the true spirit of Christmas.
