poultryOne.com: Your Favorite Poultry Site Now Supports Impoverished Children A poultryOne Media Group Brand Popular Poultry Website Donates Over 30% Of May Profit To Charity 20 June 2006 HAWAII, U.S. - Helping farmers learn how to raise poultry successfully is just a part of a larger picture. poultryOne.com has announced this month that it has donated a portion of its May 2006 gross income to a charity that works to help children impoverished around the world. The website is not disclosing the actual financial contribution but has said that it amounts to over 30% of that month's gross sales from advertisements. "This was just something that I wanted to do," poultryOne's founder Josh Duvauchelle said. "We help poultry hobbyists around the world discover the joys of raising chickens. It only makes sense that we donate some of our income to help children discover nutritious food, clean water, and the power of education." "As a university student, I know firsthand the importance of education," Josh adds. "Children in some of these countries are lucky if they go to school for just one or two years. They're the future of our world. We need to help them!" poultryOne has picked World Vision as its charity of choice. Having a high rating among charity watchdog organizations, 87% of World Vision's 2005 expenditures went straight to its humanitarian programs. World Vision is a relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their entire communities. "I wanted to make sure that our donation went straight to the children," Josh explains. "Some of the charities out there have huge overhead costs. Not World Vision! The majority of the money is spent directly on their programs in places like Thailand and Brazil." "This is definitely not a one-time project," Josh continued. "The money we donated provides essentials like clean water to children and their towns. It also helps pay for food and education. Every month, approximately 30% of poultryOne's income will be donated to World Vision. 30,000 children die daily from easily preventable causes...something that our donation can directly impact." Josh has set up a webpage to help you learn more about World Vision and how you can help children in third-world countries. For a small monthly donation, you too can make a difference!
