Sun, 07 Feb 2010 15:29:03 +0000 http://www.theadventuremonkey.com/blog/?p=1174#comment-814 Eric, Congrats on the visitors. As you may have seen me say of you over at my place, I think you're doing fine work here. You've earned those return visits. As to charities: Over at my blog, I have links to some charities who build and distribute and teach people how to maintain bicycles to places in Africa. Like you, I've been giving some thought to generating a bit of income to send some money their way; they, and (as others have mentioned here) Kiva.org and Heifer International are my candidates for this. In Wichita, we also have a fledgling bike collective that would be worthy of some money, too. Eric,

Thanks for this informative post. I'll keep an eye out for a hat or a t-shirt. Wow, I had never even thought to check on my blogs traffic. Thanks for this informative post.

If you make t-shirts I will definitely get some! Not too sure about purchasing some of your artwork yet though. Its on my wish list, now I just need to spend the next year or so stashing cash in my matress. Keep up the good work! Glad to see some people are coming to get a little taste of the Adventure Monkey.

I'm not a cyclist, but I would buy and wear one of those Adventure Monkey T-shirts. My T-shirt stash is getting low. Have you considered Compassion International? They get good ratings from Charity Watch and I've been impressed with what I've heard about them from fellow bloggers like Pioneer Woman and Robin at Pensieve. You should really read Ladd's (Pioneer Woman's dh) posts from the Compassion International trip he took. Here's the link to his first post about it: http://thepioneerwoman.com/blog/2008/11/from_marlboro_man/ When we visited them last April, he talked more about it, and the things he said really have me sold on this organization. I also like Kiva.org and Heifer Project International. I'm planning to do a post linking you and showing the print once it arrives. If you had an Adventure Monkey badge, I might even put it in my sidebar. I need to rearrange my layout anyway. Those are exciting numbers!
