Thanks for your support
I want
to save the oldest rainforest in the World. So I think I’ll just go on another
holiday!
As you
know iBidAM
just loves helping out where it can. We
love the work the Australian Rainforest Foundation does and when they said
could we help out in giving away the best holiday in the world,
naturally how
could we resist.
Since the late 1700s much of Australia's rainforest, including
75% of its original tropical rainforest, has been cleared for agricultural,
industrial and urban development. Today rainforest covers just 0.5% or 4.2
million hectares of Australia's
landmass.
The campaign to save the endangered cassowary is
inextricably linked to saving its habitat – Australia’s small remnant wet
tropical rainforests. Funds raised form this competition will assist in not
just in land protection and rehabilitation but in the establishment of an
international rainforest research centre, planned to be built deep in the
Daintree rainforest.
So iBidAM entered in
the competition and extended a lending hand.
We thought even if you don’t win, we could give you something special
just to say thanks.
Not only are we giving away $300 of free advertising but the CEO of iBidAM is generously donating 10% back to the
Australian Rainforest Foundation to plant
the vital food trees required in the Cassowary Corridor - why wait ? Enter, get
you code and send your email off today.....

Orphan Angels
Celebrating 2009 National Adoption Awareness Week Nov
16-22
As part of iBidAM.com’s community awareness and
action campaigns, I would like to talk about something that is very close to my
heart. As a parent earnestly waiting on the international adoption and
permanent care list, a foster care parent sometimes with up to 9 extra children
in my home, I would like to talk to you about a wonderful group I sincerely
care for called Orphan Angels.
Orphan
Angels was foundered by Deborra-lee Furness & Janine Weir, and
advocates for reforms through all available channels to provide children in
need with nurturing homes. They wish to raise awareness of the global crisis of
abandoned children, participate in creating a pro adoption community & illustrate
how anyone can transform the life of a child in need. They strive to
create an opportunity for each child to fulfill their birthright and realise
their potential.
So I believe it’s now time to…… TALK ABOUT
ADOPTION !
Many Australians have been touched
by adoption, permanent care or foster care. Most Australians know someone who
has been in one of these situations, who has adopted or fostered or even has
had to give up a child into one of these systems.
Adoption & foster care has touched us all at some time. However, for too
long it has been poorly understood and stigmatised. It’s time for us all
to become adoption advocates and acknowledge past practices, debunk adoption
myths, educate friends and family about ethical transparent adoption.
With a little preparation each one of us can do something...have one
conversation, discuss one article or one story within adoption awareness week,
that will inspire & create greater awareness of adoption, inter-country
adoption & foster care in Australia.
Please feel free to contact iBidAM, post a comment or
get in contact with the organisers directly if you can contribute in anyway to
raise the awareness of adoption and foster care within Australia.

iBidAM is dedicated
to causes which raise awareness of the incredible needs that face our children
and our future. iBidAM also adopts the
ideal that we are far more powerful in creating change by working together than
working alone. And while talking
about important issues educates and causes awareness, it is important to
remember that a part of being aware issues a responsibility to act. iBidAM.com and its Directors
are dedicated to acting on their awareness, and will continue through example,
to educate others on the important issues facing us now and in the future.
We will be sharing
with you in the future, plights in which iBidAM and our Directors believe are
detrimental to the future of mankind. We
will be achieving this in 4 ways, by supporting,
contributing, raising awareness for and taking action to create change,
with a main focus on 2 important areas that we believe are the most important
issues facing mankind.
iBidAM.com’s dedication to Children in need
Over my fire place I
have no pictures of my family. No famous
paintings. I do have one simple black
and white photograph of a child running bare-footed down a sand dune towards
the ocean - free, happy and alive with spirit.
The caption below says “A hundred years from now it will not matter how
much money was in my bank account, the sort of house I lived in, what kind of
clothes I wore or the kind of car I drove, but the world may be different
because I was important in the life of a child”. iBidAM believes the single most important
thing we can do for our future is to invest our love, time and wisdom into our
children by:
-
Supporting new legislation, ideas, organisations and
implementations that raise the standard of education and living for All
Australian children, and children all over the world.
-
Contributing financially and through service to charities
and organizations dedicated to making a difference in the lives of our
children.
-
Raising
the awareness of the fundamental
rights that all children have a loving family, good education, and access
to healthy living, by promoting programs and organisations that work
towards these goals.
-
Taking
Action by actually participating
in and “Being the change we wish to see in the world”.
iBidAM.com’s dedication to the Environment
Al Gore said that
the single most threatening thing to mankind is what man is doing to its
environment. This is reflected by
scientists and environment professionals all over the world, and has been
repeated for many, many years. A repetition
that has been squandered and rejected continually by politicians and corporate
entities for a long time, in fear they would loose money if they did something
about it. Now the cat is out of the bag
and we are now AWARE, that WE, yes WE, are responsible for potentially
destroying our planet. I would like to
think my son could look at me in the future and say my mum did everything she
could. Because now, ignorance can no
longer be our excuse! iBidAM will be
dedicated to supporting important environmental causes by:
-
Supporting new legislation, ideas, causes, organisations
and implementations that raises the standard of environmental &
natural living and reduces the carbon footprint for All people and
businesses within Australia
and all over the world.
-
Contributing financially and through service to charities
and organizations dedicated to making a difference through innovation and
education in reducing mans environmental impact.
-
Raising
the awareness of the simple
steps individuals can make that can have long lasting impacts, and the fundamental
rights that all living creatures have in equally sharing this planet, by
promoting programs and organizations that work towards these goals.
-
Taking
Action by actually participating
in and “Being the change we wish to see in the world”.
It is my goal that iBidAM
is not only dedicated to innovation in the Advertising & Marketing industry,
but is above all dedicated to impacting the world for our future, and the
future of our children. You will be
seeing iBidAM.com and its staff in many ways, over time, involved in bringing
about this change.
I believe it is
important that YOU are AWARE, that by supporting iBidAM you are supporting a
company who is dedicated to making a positive impact that goes beyond our
limits, benefits all and lasts forever.
Please feel free to
post discussions and ideas here on how you would like to see iBidAM impact the
world around you! We would love to hear
from you.
