Charity is a virtue of the heart. And you find many people today who wholeheartedly want to help others without any other ulterior motive. Before you wonder what we are yapping about, let us tell you what we mean. We came across this fund raising campaign, The Pan-Mass Challenge, started by Seth Dillingham. The objective is to raise funds for The Jimmy Fund, a cancer care and treatment charity. Seth raises awareness for this cause by biking across the state of Massachusetts. He intends to raise $10,000 for this cause.

So the question arises where do we fit in all this. The funds for this charity are raised by selling Mac software in bundles, donated by interested developers. And we at Global Delight are proud to say that we have donated licenses of Voila for this cause. May we take this opportunity to request our fellow Mac software developers out there to be a part of this cause. This is also a chance for all you users to contribute your mite to charity. Go ahead, build your bundle and get that satisfaction of having changed a life.

On similar lines we have the MacWeed Creative Bundle. The bundle offers 13 great Mac applications, including yours truly, intended for personal and professional use. Out of the 13 bundled apps, 7 are locked, which shall be unlocked after reaching a certain number of sales.

Here again the spotlight is not on the bundle in itself, but on the cause. Part of the proceeds of the sales generated from this bundle will go the Italian Red Cross (CRI), in an effort to help the thousands of people displaced by a 6.3 magnitude earthquake that hit the Abruzzo region of Italy a few weeks ago. The Italian Red Cross is an International society providing health care in peace and war and is part of the International Movement of the Red Cross. Buying this bundle will help millions displaced in the earthquake. When we were approached by MacWeed to include Voila in their bundle, we were at first skeptical ‘cos this was their first bundle. But when we learnt about their cause we willingly agreed to be a part of it. So go ahead and buy this bundle, because for charity, every little helps.

Peace!
