This is going to be a new Thursday feature:
Foodie Blogroll Community Events.

The Foodie Blogroll is a community of over 3000 food bloggers, many of whom hold blogging events. Many are for good causes and some are just for fun! But since there is such a variety, I will post about one every Thursday. I cannot post them all, but if you would like to have your event posted, and you are part of the Foodie Blogroll, please use my contact form (top left under my profile picture) to send the details.

The first community event I would like to talk about this week is Books For Love which is created and hosted by my friend Arfi, from HomeMadeS. Here is what she has to say about the event:

This auction is for cancer kids in Indonesia who come from poor families. There is a foundation through which these children are helped and funded, it is called Yayasan Kasih Anak Kanker Indonesia (Care for Cancer Kids Foundation Indonesia), situated in Jakarta. Last year, Indonesian, New Zealand, and Australian foodie bloggers succeeded raising IDR 6,050,000. Hopefully, we’ll be able to help these children again, with more hope and more generous people who can help with bidding. Every dollar counts, every kindness is highly appreciated.
