About Passports with Purpose.

Passports with Purpose (PwP) is a fundraiser organized by a small group of energetic travel bloggers in Seattle. This annual raffle since 2008 for travel gear and travel getaway prizes procured by travel bloggers raises money for
an international humanitarian project. This year the PwP project is supporting the international organization Room to Read to establish two libraries in Zambia.

Pam Mandel – Nerd’s Eye View, Beth Whitman – Wanderlust and Lipstick, Debbie Dubrow – DeliciousBaby.com and Michelle Duffy – Wandermom.com coordinate travel bloggers and businesses through the travel community for a purpose to help save the world one location at a time.

Two years ago I participated in Passports with Purpose and hosted a Hyatt Gold Passport prize of 50,000 points. The goal in 2009 was $30,000 to build a school in Cambodia. Passports with Purpose must be a successful fundraiser. The goal this year is $80,000 for two libraries in Zambia.

Nice thing Hyatt Gold Passport more than doubled their points donation in 2011 since the Passports with Purpose fundraising goal also more than doubled since 2009. I have a feeling this 2011 Hyatt Gold Passport prize will get plenty of ticket entries.

Pam has a way with words and provides Room to Read links and some of her personal reading preferences in her October 19 post – Passports with Purpose 2011: It’s About Reading!

After reading Pam’s piece I decided to withhold my story for this post about reading Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings when I was 15 during an overcast summer beach camping holiday near Barcelona, Spain.

Over the next two weeks on Loyalty Traveler I’ll remind readers about $10 raffle prize tickets for the Passports with Purpose fundraiser and share some of my stories on libraries, books and my days working as an elementary school reading teacher.

    I did donate 10$ thru Paypal, but it didnt ask anywhere my Hyatt Gold Passport number neither did I get confirmation of my donation to the email. Is that supposed to be like that?

  • n/a November 30, 2011

    Made the donation as well today, checking your Hyatt award box. Had to enter my email, but that’s it. I think we can assume that if we win the prize, we’ll be contacted by e-mail for our Hyatt Gold number.

  • Ric Garrido November 30, 2011

    @Marek and n/a – Passports with Purpose will notify me who won the prize. I will notify Hyatt Gold Passport and they will work with the winner via email to deposit the points in your account.

    I see my Passports with Purpose prize listing is not in the same format as other prizes. There was an issue with the form loading on my browser with information requests but missing fields to enter the data.

    Hopefully this will be corrected today.

    Great gift and cause…put in my donation…saw the two options. It was a bit confusing, but put it under the first one with the 110K Hyatt points.

  • Oliver November 30, 2011

    I didn’t win last time, but I’ll try again. Love libraries.
