So a bunch of travel bloggers, including yours truly, pulled together to offer loads of fantastic travel goodies for a fundraiser called Passports with Purpose, to help Heifer International with its goal of ending world hunger. Just $10 a ticket enters you to win prizes including hotel stays, merino wool long underwear, a Flip video camera and this palm-sized Solio Magnesium Edition, “the world’s most advanced hybrid charger,” which uses the sun’s power to keep your electronics charged anywhere. A full charge would likely juice up your phone twice, for example, or give you over 20 hours of MP3 music. Stores power for up to a year.

To enter:
1. Check out all of the prizes here. Write down the code(s) for the prize(s) you want to win.
2. Go to the Passports with Purpose First Giving page. (You can also get there directly from the prizes page.) For each $10 donation you make, you’ll be entered into the raffle for the prize of your choice. Be sure to enter the prize code in the “comments” field on the form. And please, don’t hide your email. We won’t share it, but do need it to tell you if you’ve won. Oh, and yes, First Giving will give you a receipt for your donation. If you work somewhere with gift matching, please provide that information when you make your donation.
3. Tell all your friends so they, too, can enter to win cool prizes while basking in the spirit of the season.
4. Cross your fingers and wait. Winners pulled on December 30th.
