Thanks @galenkp for a very nice challenge. Got me thinking, researching, budgeting and word count watching.
There are some brilliant ideas here and it's always an interesting exercise to see how far $1000 goes in different countries around the world.
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed your word count watching. It's such an enjoyable past time.
There were so many good entries and it's always difficult to select the winners. I'll be bringing on a MOD to help in the next few days...Maybe even hand off all the hard work to that
poor suckeroutstanding individual...and some hive beneficiary rewards also of course.$1000USD is a bit of money I guess, in some countries it's a lot of money...I guess it didn't matter though, it was the exercise of getting people to think creatively that was my intention. Looking at the entries I'd say they did.
