Passports with Purpose is the annual Travel Bloggers’ fundraiser. In 2009, 90 bloggers participated and raised almost $30,000 to build a school in rural Cambodia. In 2010, they have set their sights even higher and with the help of the travel community, will aim to raise $50,000 to build a village in rural India through a partnership with Friends of LAFTI. At just over $42,000 raised as of today, we at TravelPost are very excited to do our part in helping them reach their goal during this final stretch.

You can read more about Passports with Purpose, and this year's project in India in our interview with the founders.

Thanks to our host Hotel 1000 and our Wine Sponsor Trio Vinters.
