Hello Everybody,
As the Dutch people among us already know every year in Holland we have the Serious Request Glass House benefit.
Serious Request is a benefit event hosted the week before Christmas each year by Dutch radio station 3FM. The project, begun in 2004, collects money for Red Cross initiatives. During 3FM Serious Request three DJs live in a glass house for six days (five days the first year) on a juice-only fast. They broadcast on the radio throughout the whole 6 days but it's also being transmitted on television.

The last few years several million euro's each year were collected with different initiatives and donations from the people in Holland. The most known way to donate is requesting a song for money. Last year Serious Request collected €12,251,667 for the project "Let's hear it for the babies".
This year Serious Request collects money for children who die because of diarrhea. Every year over 80.000 children die because of diarrhea. That means one child
every 7 minutes!! Most of them didn't get diarrhea if they only had clean drinking water, soap and clean toilets. That's why the slogan this year will be "Let's clean this shit up!"
Because the most of us made some money last year with BTC, I thought it will be good to do something for charity and especially for children who can be saved. I'd like to do something for these children this year and I hope you also want to help these children.
This year the Glass House will be in Leeuwarden (Holland) from 18 till 24 december and like every year I will go to the Glass House to request a song and donate some money. I'd like to go there this year and donate some money from the people from
http://www.bitcointalk.org. This way we will generate some publicity for this forum on Dutch television & radio and help to prevent children dying because of diarrhea.
Let's help this great Red Cross initiative and donate some BTC! I created a special wallet for this event and now I'm asking you to donate for these children. For every 1 BTC you guys will donate I will add 0.1 BTC from my own wallet. My minimum I will donate from my own wallet is 1 BTC and I also like to set my maximum on 4 BTC.
The walletaddress I opened is: 1PUxgtyV4WKnsKk9Zpcsoy6iMCHdYDJSrk
Even the smallest donations will help! Even if you can miss only 0.001 BTC!
The song I will request is "
We are the World", with a tongue in cheek to the BTC ofcourse
I hope you'll realise how good our lifes and our childrens lifes are and help these children in need! Let's clean this shit up!
Have a great Christmas time guys!
Amy
