1) On the Kairos sponsorships: ... Please post here how many you - and any other interested parties may want to sponsor? We can do this the same way as Cameroon. When we sponsor the child mention the name. Here is a list of our Kairos kids:
I can sponsor 10.
mmm nice idea, but we should discuss what will be better. if one time buy, or items can be sell many times to different buyers, or some auction, or if price will be fixed or some minimum specified or free will ...
capulo -- good question. Also therogue mentioned the same idea. if items are recurring (service, music, video), you can keep the item in the store with multiple quantities. i was initially thinking scans of drawings, poems, etc but I suppose even those can be sold multiple times. for now, if we keep it digital there isn't too much logistics involved with shipping.
This is a pretty cool idea, for example having one of our children make artwork for a cup or something.
thanks for intention to vote yeson the proposal. hopefully, its just a matter of installing wordpress, woocommerce plugin, the biblepay plugin, and you can build a store from there. i ran an ecommerce business for 10 years many eons ago, so I think I can handle one store. I found a good host for wordpress and it is costing me $14/yr. My domain registration cost more! So, on the low end, I think $3/mo is possible for share host and domain registration cost.
I was thinking one store per charity/community. Whatever items are paid for with BBP, the BBP goes to community on a monthly basis. if we forward a earnings statement to the community on a monthly basis, the child's "bonus" is recognition for their work. I'll have to defer to CameroonONE and Kairos on the cultural norms for competition and entrepreneurship. It is an interesting idea that merits more discussion. Let's keep the idea on the backburner for now...
