Over the last couple months, I've received 20 cards! Thank you EVERYONE who participated and got their cards in on time, you are awesome! If I have neglected to put a green check mark next to your name on the list, please email me and I'll correct it ASAP. =)
And if you have not yet turned in your postcard, please email it to me ASAP at elena at yamiloo.com. Use the subject, "Finished Postcard."
On the downside, I've only received about half of the cards that were pledged by artists. So I've extended the deadline to Monday, August 9th. In the meantime, I'm going to set up the preview page for purchasing the postcards, with the help of JGray (Mysteries of the Arcana).
What to do now:
If you haven't already, please finish your card ASAP! Again, the final deadline is August 9th. Other than that, there's not much left to do.
If you want to be super-awesome, you can promote the charity once I get the postcard thumbnails up, using these banners. I'll be making more ads for the bidding soon, since most of these are targeted at recruiting artists. =)

You votes have spoken! We will be donating the proceeds of this charity to Kiva.
(Natalie Portman approves this.)
Kiva's mission is to connect people, through lending, for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva empowers individuals to lend to an entrepreneur across the globe. By combining microfinance with the internet, Kiva is creating a global community of people connected through lending. By connecting people we can create relationships beyond financial transactions, and build a global community expressing support and encouragement of one another.
The thing about Kiva is that it's not ACTUALLY a charity, but a micro-loan company. This means that all the money donated there will eventually be paid back. So the money generated from this can be re-used to keep finding small businesses. It's the gift that keeps on giving. =)
