Hey all,

As you know, one of the benefits of living in a developed country is the education system. We have ready access to the entirety of human knowledge, not only from our teachers but also from the Internet. As you also know, the same cannot be said for less developed countries. There are still multiple countries today that struggle with even the most basic of education, such as reading and writing.
Some less developed countries are fortunate enough to have a literate population, but struggle to take the step from having a basic school system to having high school graduates. Secondary and Tertiary levels of education are vital for a country, in order to let them have skilled workers and an economy based on more than just natural resources. One such country is the small, South American country of Guyana.

Kirstin Vieira is a graduating high school student that, wanting to make a difference, has taken it upon herself to spend an entire year in Guyana, teaching the locals maths, science and English, with the help of Project Trust. She needs help to raise £5,900 (~$10,000) to make this project a reality.

A donation page has been set up here: Virgin Money Giving | Fundraising | Kirstin Vieira's fundraising page where you can read more about Kirstin as well as her plans for the people she want to help.

To show our support, DragonByte Tech will donate 10% of all sales revenue for a month to the cause. Not only that, but for every $10 you donate, you will receive $5 worth of Discount Points that you can use towards DBTech purchases. Not only do you get 50% of the money you donate in DBTech points, but if you donate the most of anyone from DBTech, you get a further $100 in DBTech points.

What does that mean? Well, lets say you donate $75 and no one donates more. Not only did you just give $75 to a fantastically good cause, which we are personally invested in and will appreciate you for, but you also get $132.50 of DBTech points! For $75!

Lets recap: Give money to a charitable cause. Potentially win twice as much in DBTech points, and you're guaranteed to get at least half as much in DBTech points. Win/Win/Win.

To claim your Discount Point rewards, please PM Cosmic with the details of your contribution. Thank you in advance :)
