A clever plan!

Hi - Found this site (via anews article) and thought I would pass it on www.treeofnames.com A 13 year old lad from Wales is raising money for his education/a childrens charity - clever site and well wortha read. I enjoyed his blog! Only costs £1 to buy a plot - people are sending christmas greeting and things - respect!

Thanks for the link. It's alot like the Million Dollar Homepage project.

Thanks for the link Maxell

wow, he's sold 85,500 spaces already. That's pretty amazing....

I have just put my block up . Keep it going on

Hang on... 10% goes to charity, and the other 90% goes into the site owners pocket? It's a clever plan okay....

Yeh that's what I wondered but if you read it carefully, think it was in blog, he givesa break down of £1 - 25% is paypal fees plus a load of other stuff including education courses so I personally think the boy is cool. When you look at stuff like million dollar page and see him making a million surely as traders the least we can do is support a kid trying to do something of hios own back. Anyway that's just my opinion.

Can't see a cost breakdown, but from what I have read it looks like this:
Kid doesn't get on in the normal school system to the extent he pulls out of school - well sorry, but I have a problem with that... go read comments on the Times Education Supplement website, you'll find a fair number of comments from teachers and articles about the problems kids face in obtaining an education when those who don't 'mix' are sitting in their class.

Education in the UK is free, and all you have to do is turn up and behave yourself to collect it.
