December 8, 2009 by  

If you’re a regular reader of this and other Travel Blogs you’ll already know about Passports with Purpose and the great prizes you can win by making a $10 donation for the prize draw against the prize of your choice.

The Travel Blogger’s Charity Fundraiser is in it’s second year, and this year we’re raising money to build a school in Cambodia. The initial target of $13K to build the school has been reached thanks to your support, and now we’re going for a further $13 to fund a school nurse, clean water and a vegetable garden for the school. Knowing how lucky I and my family are in the education we’ve received and take for granted, I’m pleased to try and give something back in a part of the world that’s still recovering from the 1970s, when the Khymer Rouge practically destroyed the educational system in Cambodia.

There are many great prizes on offer from books & music, cameras, hotels stays and holidays, great travel gear and product vouchers. You can read all about the Flip Camera I’m giving away on my previous post here, but let me remind you that this neat little video camcorder is perfect when you’re travelling light or want to have some fun with video.

In this post I’d like to focus on on some of the other great camera and photography prizes on offer – you can see all the Passports with Purpose prize details here.

At Whatboundaries there’s another Flip Mino Video Camera on offer – I don’t need any convincing on that one, and as I can’t enter for my own prize, I shall be crossing my fingers that I win this one instead.

My friend Anil at Foxnomad has a Casio Exilim EX-S5 10 Mega Pixel Digital Camera - this is the camera that Anil uses and recommends as it’s small, durable and has a great feature set for it’s size. As Anil’s a bit of a gadget fiend, I’ll take his word for that – I do hope it’s in blue as you’ve shown, as it’s my favourite travel colour, makes me thing of cloudless skies and crystal clear seas.

Debbie at DeliciousBaby is one of the brains behind Passports with Purpose and has a Kodak Zi6 Pocket Video Camera as her prize which is another great pocket sized Video camera similar to the Flip, ideal for capturing those special moments with family and friends.

At Two and a half Travelers you’ll finjd a Fuji Instax Mini camera  and film. Apparently this cute camera is your old-fashioned Polaroid’s younger, hotter brother. It instantly prints credit card-size photos and just happens to be one the holiday seasons hottest gifts. Read more on Photojojo.

And if there’s something photographic you have in mind then enter the draw for the $100 Gift Certificate to B&H Photo and Video on offer from Wendy at Escape from New York. Wendy’s a preofessional photographer and I always enjoy her interesting shots, each with a little story behind them.

So do take a look at the great prizes on offer and make your pick. I’m donating $10 against a prize for each member of may family, choosing the gift I think they’ll enjoy most. I’m sure you can also thing of lots of ways you can incorporate this into your Christmas giving, or perhaps ask your loved ones to make a donation for the prize you’d like as your Christmas gift.
