Final Amount Raised for Haiti

HERE is the original post by Aldric.

"Here are the final results of the Haiti donations!

We have achieved an admirable sum of US$589 from your selflessness and generosity, and to chip in to the effort, the development team of Wiglington and Wenks is also donating another US$300, making our total contribution US$889. Unknown to many of you - in the original US$589 - John Bittleston (the author of Wiglington and Wenks) donated US$200 too.

While it is not a lot of money - every little bit helps - and we can be proud of the fact that we have put in our sincere efforts to help Haiti. All of you contributed in one way or another - either through donating, through talking about the event, through tweeting or through praying.

This unfortunate calamity could have happened to any of us, and in times of darkness, we would certainly appreciate a helping hand. This time, you lent your helping hand to the victims of Haiti.

On behalf of Haiti and Wiglington and Wenks, I thank all of you for your support and kindness.

Let us all pray for the quake victims of Haiti and hope that they stay resilient and rebuild their lives.

The donation of US$889 will go to the HSI( Humane Society International) disaster relief funds. Once we receive the official receipt from HSI, we will be putting it up for all of us to remember this touching moment when all the players of Wiglington and Wenks united and contributed to help Haiti as one family, even though we are all from different countries, timezones and cultures.

Travel On!

Aldric"

The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks

by John Bittleston

A message from the Author

Napoleon said ‘Geography is History’. It is true that when Geography was taken off the curriculum of many schools across the world, kids lost a bit of history - that exciting foreword to their own lives, full of exemplary role models and horrendous, hair-raising warnings. I decided that my own children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were not going to miss this important introduction to the thrills, challenges and sheer fun of their time on our planet. So I wrote The Travels of Wiglington and Wenks, four books of daring adventure, exploration and mind-bending problems.

From a play, an exhibition, a board game and a film trailer, MediaFreaks have now developed the stories into online Computer Games and a Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World. In these, kids are challenged to learn about the world’s cultures, about the challenges of climate change and a rapidly growing population, and to see the wonderful, limitless opportunities for all who have the courage to seize them.

As a source of fun for the young they are without equal. And there is no better way of learning about the wonders today’s kids will soon help to shape - both for the kids themselves and for their parents who are as bewildered as the rest of us by the speed of change and the hopes and dreams that change opens up.

In the Wiglington and Wenks Virtual World kids help to shape and construct an environment in their own image and to their own standards. Packed full of surprises and with endless opportunities to demonstrate their abilities and skills, Wiglington and Wenks future is in their hands - just as the real world is. Just as it should be.

May your travels be as exciting and rewarding as those of Wiglington and Wenks - and hopefully a little less violent than those of Napoleon."
