WHAT IF...
Drumroll please...Take a peek at all the lenses already particpating. Wow. Is yours there?
A FAVOR FROM SETH
Squidoo just hit 50,000 lenses. To celebrate, here's a challenge from us to you.If every Squidoo member built just one new lens, today, we could help Room to Read build a new school in Vietnam or Nepal. And then another. And another. And another. Because your lens could just keep earning royalties, for free, forever.
Click on the BUILD A LENS button, right now, and invest 5 or 7 minutes to make a lens on Your Favorite Things. Or your 10 favorite books. Or movies. Or a holiday wishlist.
Then point to your lens from your blog or share it with a few friends. Then you're done.
Day in and day out, for weeks or months or years into the future, that lens will be earning pennies and dimes to support Room to Read.
Thanks, everyone.

IF YOU COULD ASK FOR JUST ONE THING
If you could ask for just one thing in life. A lucky break. A new ipod. Free college tuition. A pony. (Or, of course, world peace).
What would it be?

- For squidoo to grow stronger - what an amazing idea! Filtering some ad revenue for something good for a change - putting your money where your mouth is (or putting your money where it's needed - in their hungry mouths...) - well done!

- If I could ask for just one thing. I think it would have to be, stop Ignorance. This takes on so many forms, from spritual to education and beyond. If I could end ignorance, in whatever form, I believe the world would be a much safer and happier place to be.
