What is the 40 minute fundraise?
In Zambia a lesson lasts for 40 minutes. Will you fundraise for 40 minutes to fund new classrooms and teachers’ houses at Simakakata Community School? You can jump, busk, run, bake and much, much more. Learn more >
Washing up

Could these be your tools for the 40 minute fundraise? (Photo credit: fras1977, Flickr)

Will you auction 40 minutes of your time to the highest bidder?

They get to choose what you do.

You could end up cutting the grass, cleaning toilets, doing the washing up, lugging a heavy load. Whatever the auction winner fancies.

You can keep it simple and restrict your auction to friends and family, or offer it to the entire office. It’s completely up to you.

And if you end up in any amusing situations then let us know and we’ll feature the best on the blog.

Good luck!
