Travellerspoint is one of the sponsors of Passports with Purpose, a donation drive that brings travel bloggers together from all across the internet to rally behind some great causes. This year, they are raising $80,000 (!) to build two libraries in Zambia through Room to Read. We're very proud to be a sponsor of them, but sponsors only make up a small part of the total amount that needs to be raised.

They also need random people (or eh.. you) to donate whatever you can. Raising $80,000 is not a mean feat!

Here's the thing though. Travel bloggers sponsor prizes to give out to people who have donated. There's a whole heap to choose from. From Kindle Fires to bungee jumping experiences to hotel stays. Really great prizes. And really good odds at winning them because there are so many. Last year I won a $100 Mr & Mrs Smith voucher.

With only two days left to enter, there's now a list of the prizes that you stand the most chance at winning. Among those is a $100 Travellerspoint accommodation voucher through our sister site - Travelblogs.com.

Really, we love this donation drive and think TP members should as well. They've already raised 94% of the total, so it's not far to go. Go on and put yourself in the running for some of those prizes. Donate here.

Damn - headed to the bank's website now so I can get the TP Foundation's $50.00 donation sent on time!!

Honestly people, Passport with Purpose is an excellent cause!! They have helped build a school in Cambodia in 2009, a village in India in 2010 and now working on 2 libraries in Zambia, as Peter stated.
