Well (no pun intended :sexywink:), I won one so far. Tryin for another....

I didn't win my favorites (they we're all really great), but two photos and the ability to aid in giving others drinkable water is sweet enough! Kudos to the photographers and volunteers who made it possible.

Happy 50th Bday, Bono!
 
Wow I just checked out all the winning bids and looks like some great ending bids. Very cool for AWF! :up:
 
Congratulations to all the winners and thank you to everyone who placed a bid, whether you won or not. Your support is so important in helping African Well Fund reach its goal of raising $50,000 in honor of Bono's 50th birthday to fund a clean water and sanitation project in Zimbabwe. Today is day 36 of 50 to reach that goal, just two weeks left. For more information on the project, including how to make a donation or purchase a limited-edition print, click here.
