Editor's Notes
- #3: Game maker have the power to create worlds. Like charities, they have the power to imagine something better.
- #4: Most charities work to create a world where everyone lives with dignity. Unlike world peace, this is achievable. Perhaps in our lifetime.
- #5: http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7164/6579972765_d66f46b7a7_z.jpg > It has become increasingly hard for charities to cut through the noise of everyday life, and Apple product launches, and engage Australians in a meaningful manner. Charities also have to compete with each other for hearts, minds and wallets. To do this we need to continually innovate.
- #7: Game and resource centre aimed at increasing knowledge and conversation about child labour within schools and homes.
- #8: In this reality game we fight together against the mosquitoes that transmit malaria in the warmer regions of our earth. More than 1 million people die from this disease every year - many of them are children under age 5. Malaria is a preventable disease -- therefore we call on you to join our fight against mosquitoes. We want children worldwide to grow up without the fear of contracting this terrible affection. Are you a Mosquito Cuddler, a Mosquito Fighter, or even a "Mosquinator"?
- #9: Social game developed by Verge Games.
- #10: The Half the Sky Movement is cutting across platforms to ignite the change needed to put an end to the oppression of women and girls worldwide, the defining issue of our time. Inspired by journalists Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn's book of the same name, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide brings together video, websites, games, blogs and other educational tools to not only raise awareness of women's issues, but to also provide concrete steps to fight these problems and empower women. Change is possible, and you can be part of the solution
- #11: The Game is supported in large part by the Ford Foundation, with additional support provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, Intel, United Nations Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts
- #12: These games all do a good job, but none have truly harnessed the power of gaming.
- #15: Charities come in all shapes and sizes. The best advice I can give you is to find a cause that you’re passionate about and go with them
