All the revenue from the e-book goes to “Terre des Hommes”

The e-book is now available for sale and we’ve set up a payment system via paypal, directly from our website. We might add other options in the future, but right now, paypal is the easiest and also least expensive way. Since we’re donating 100% of the income generated to “Terre des Hommes”, we don’t want to pay a lot of commission to stores and other intermediaries – 100% of your 5 Euros will go to charity!

Now, let me tell you a bit about “Terre des Hommes” (TdH). The TdH movement first started in Switzerland in 1960 and today numbers eleven independent, national organisations in Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, Switzerland and Syria. Together they form the International Federation of TdH.
The federation’s global income for 2007 was over 100 million Euros, of which 80% went to actual field projects, 14% to administration and 5% to advocacy and information. Almost half of the funds were donated by the general public, while government and EU funds contributed another quarter. TdH runs development and humanitarian projects and provides advocacy programmes in order to advance children’s rights on a local and international level.
One very important engagement, in my opinion, is TdH’s fight against child trafficking. The value of the global human trafficking trade is estimated at 32 billion USD, and the exploitation of children is the most abominable form of this modern day slave trade. TdH has succeeded in encouraging anti-child-traffic legislation in Africa and South Asia and has played a major part in establishing child protection units on a local and national level in European countries of origin of trafficked children (Albania, Kosovo, Moldova, etc.). (sources: Terre des Hommes)

Children are both our future and our biggest responsibility and TdH takes a stand here. A worthwhile cause to donate to.
