Hi friends Browsing around the instructables site I found this kid in Indonesia! His version of wal-e made of junk really impressed me.

Specially because all the electronics are taken from old toys! I wrote him asking if he have heard about EZ-b. He said yes, but unfortunately have no money to buy one. So, I was wandering, with that kind of talent, what this kid would be able to do with an Ez-b in hands.. So, here is my proposition. Why don't we send him a board as a gift?! Mabe we could find 20 members that could contribute with, let's say, 15 dollars, and we could send him that? What you guys think? And, DJ, do you think the shop would be able to manage contributions and send him the kit? Just an idea... Greetings from Brazil!

I think that's a great idea Smile
words off dj himself in this topic.alan is doing great. this is the first time we do this offcourse there slips some misunderstandings in. oldrobot you are great to.its because we are human not robots.
Update for this morning:
We have raised $165, not counting whatever @oldbotbuilder and anyone else sent directly to EZ-Robot (hopefully we'll be able to pool those in with the order or they will set up a program long term and apply it to that).
18 days left in the program. I am feeling totally confident we will reach our goal, and reasonably confident we could reach the stretch goal.
Big thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. Some contributions came from users who did not post here, so unless you post I will assume you wanted to remain anonymous, but thanks to all of you.

well some say when you help people you get lucky also. i just got letter from a big firm here in belgium whit the note. i get an new android tablet 4.2.2 for 4 euro inclu chipping.
Hey there, Everyone on here has been so kind to me I'm happy to spread the love. I don't have a paypal account though (they threw me out ages ago for having ones in multiple currencies) so if you could invoice [email protected] from paypal for the fifteen bucks then that would be great. (invoicing means that I can pay without having a paypal account).
Invoice sent.
I am looking into Rich's idea of a paypal button as well (I believe it also allows users to pay without having accounts).

Let's see how this works.
Nope. Can't add the button to the web page, but I can provide this link.

Hey guys,
Awesome initiative. @thetechguru please email [email protected] and I will handle the sale. I will need some details from you.
I just want to say that everyone at ezrobot is super excited about your guys' enthusiasm and this is for sure something that we will look into down the road with your help, but at the moment we just do not have the resources to dedicate to setting up a scholarship fund or allowing users to pitch in their ez-credit. I don't say that to be discouraging, I just want to be real with you guys.
Thanks for being such fantastic robotics ambassadors! :-)
