Because of the work of volunteers all around the world, we've been able to collect and analyze projects that make significant differences in the lives of children. We are nearly ready to direct funds and donations to these projects, and look forward to seeing the results soon.<br />The use of innovative ways of connecting people to their passions has been a huge encouragement and tool for moving forward with The Kami Project, so we wish to share a humorous video that speaks of the use of technology and our excitement. Enjoy!<br /><br /><object width="404" height="245"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/AV0fmNo7474&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/AV0fmNo7474&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="404" height="245"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4343613254324452257-4858395437560710553?l=thekamiprojectblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Kami Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05726756765392114929noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4343613254324452257.post-58438890319583185712009-11-01T20:15:00.000-08:002009-11-01T21:06:20.440-08:00After seemingly endless forms, budget projections, and narrative descriptions about The Kami Project, we have finalized our 501(c)(3) application with the IRS! In our efforts to connect people to their passions, all of us who worked on the tax-exempt application came to a concrete conclusion: None of us are passionate about the IRS! But the biggest IRS hurdle is behind us, and we look forward to the added benefits of now being able to receive donations and allowing them to be tax deductible. <div><div><br /></div><div>We are currently putting the final touches on our website, and look forward to offering by the end of the month, hundreds of opportunities to make a difference in the world. Because of the selfless involvement and giving of dozens of people, we have a fire lit beneath us, in us, behind us, shoot--everything is one fire, and is permeating our conversations with each other in ways we never expected! </div><div><br /></div><div>The motivation of the people involved in forming this organization was contagious, and though we never needed additional motivational speeches, the video below made a few of us smile:</div><div> </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-26943e8142fb074f" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"><param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D26943e8142fb074f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331346073%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D55DDD9DB6369CB4C2DAE7B5EAC698D5527D6D36C.6EC587D04956DA18C67C9052BBB85662F885B60C%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D26943e8142fb074f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DjVLnc_awunWZW0SGI1pW35gvgN4&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v18.nonxt3.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D26943e8142fb074f%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1331346073%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D55DDD9DB6369CB4C2DAE7B5EAC698D5527D6D36C.6EC587D04956DA18C67C9052BBB85662F885B60C%26key%3Dck1&iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D26943e8142fb074f%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DjVLnc_awunWZW0SGI1pW35gvgN4&autoplay=0&ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /></object></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4343613254324452257-5843889031958318571?l=thekamiprojectblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Kami Projecthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05726756765392114929noreply@blogger.com0
