Yes, the conclusion will have to wait for Andy's return tomorrow. But I must say a big thank you to KingRat and everyone else who contributed to SOS Africa. This is a remarkable achievement for our community! :P =D>

"Barsted"? If you're going to insult yourself, Genaraln7, do it right. I will not tolerate such poor insults in this thread!

Is there a usergroup for SOS Africa? For sharing info, planning activity & gathering a group of supporters? If there is, let me know about it. If there isn’t, maybe Tactician can set one up?

Yowza, yowza, yowza!

I'm out of the office for a day and I come back and we've reach 100+ % of our goal! It is really great to see that our Community turned out to support this cause---either through direct donations or simply good will toward the project and endeavor.

Tactician / Matt will provide us with updates about Kelebogile, so we can follow her progress throughout the year as well! I'll probably post about them in this topic when they come in!

The JustGiving widget will come down in a couple of days. We'll leave it up incase anyone else feels the desire to donate extra, and to allow those who log into more sporadically to see we did indeed reach our goal!

And lastly, the Reward Map [Africa II] is LIVE (BETA)! I think it is definitely safe to say that our Community earned it! So start up a game!

Thanks once again to everyone. Here's to making a difference, even if it is only a small one. See you on the battlefield!

Happy CCing,



--Andy & Team CC

I don't see why you're making such a huge fuss about the banner. It's not in the way at all, and after a while, it becomes part of the background and easy to ignore. Personally, I think it's great that a gaming site is taking the initiative to raise money for charity.

can the Just Giving widget be used to raise money for CC updates such as an ability to create multiple games and populate them all at once or new xml features?

Hi everyone!
Firstly, congratulations on successfully hitting the £600 target! Your efforts have now secured a year of education for Kelebogile!
Secondly, some of you have been asking about whether or not there are SOS Africa awareness groups - in addition to the website we also have a Facebook group which is regularly updated with SOS updates/info: http://www.facebook.com/SOSAfricaCharity
I will also make sure our SA office sends Andy regular updates to add on the Conquer Club site.
If anyone would like any further information, please feel free to email me: matt@sosafrica.com.
Thank you again for your support over the past few weeks and enjoy the awesome new map!! See you there!!
Best wishes,
Matt/Tactician.

It is great to see there are some 130+ active or waiting games currently for Africa II. We'll see in a couple of weeks if it can over take Africa in terms of average number of active and waiting games!

Ahoy Ahoy Everyone,

It's that time of year folks...grade reports and student assessments are starting to come out in schools all across the world! Our very own Kelebogile herself recently received her own progress update, so we thought we would share her progress with you all in an update!

Kelebogile received high marks in Subjects like "Economics & Management Science," "Mathematics," "Natural Science," Social Science," "Arts and Culture," and did well in a few other subjects too! Overall, Kelebogile was above her 7th Grade Class Average!

As for Extra Curricular Activities, as we all know those can be just as important as in-class schooling, Kelebogile has been taking swimming lessons and she reports that she loves swimming!

It's great to see Kelebogile doing so well this year, and I am proud to say our Conquer Club community has helped give her the chance to succeed!

Thanks for all your support and best wishes.

Out of interest, does the charity have any projects outside of South Africa?

Matt, aka Tactician, might be able to better answer that than I could!

Hi Manbungalow,

At present SOS Africa is only based in South Africa. However, as we continue to expand, we may consider to assist other African countries such as Zimbabwe.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Cheers,

Matt/Tactician
