MITBBS.com is an online Chinese forum, frequented by overseas Chinese students and professionals. There they share information, and exchange insights about life, works and almost everything. By posting to the forum, users earn MITBBS dollars, which they can use to decorate their avatars, or give to other users as a gift.
But now they have found a better use of their MITBBS dollars. They can sell this fake money for real US dollars, which can then be donated, via OCEF, to the kids in rural China.
Yes, it is possible because it actually happened once last year! Tens of MITBBS users donated around 70, 000 MITBBS dollars, which then sold for around $700 US dollars. These dollars bought a few set of Ping-Pong tables for the kids in an Elementary school in Shan-Xi, China. Just look at how happy the kids are when they play!
Now we are trying to copy last year's success. Or even go a little further than that. Some generous MITBBSers have donated to us their MITBBS dollars, which already amount to 160, 000 within just one day, and the number is still growing. Now please come and be our buyers of these MITBBS dollars!
So here's the deal: for each $10 dollars you donate to us via this action, you will receive 1000 MITBBS dollars as a thank-you gift (Please present your receipt at the board of mitocef for your MITBBS dollars). You will leave with MITBBS dollars and happily decorate your avatar, just in time for the holidays; the kids in rural China will receive gifts bought using your US dollars, and they will be happy and warm, too, in the coming winter.
We will decide what we will do with the donations a bit later, depending on how much we receive and what projects that we can find to make the best out of that money. It might be another few sets of Ping-Pong tables. It might be another 500 books. It might be clothes that keep the kids warm in the coming winter. Or it might be a combination of the above.
However you can be sure that, we will not abuse your donations and efforts, and you will not regret when we update you, here as well as at MITBBS, with what your donations have brought to the kids. We believe that you will feel as happy as the kids do.

MITBBS的伪币可以做什么？ 买衣服、买背景，让自己的头像更炫！还有呢？伪币还可
以换成真币，捐给中国贫困地区的孩子们，给他买乒乓球台！没错，差不多一年前，
ocef的义工NWWolf发起了这么一个活动，得到了不少伪币富豪们的支持，最后富豪们一共捐出了近七万伪币，义卖伪币一共筹得善款近七百美金，为山西省河曲县旧县乡中心小学室内乒乓球台两副、室外乒乓球台三副。http://www.mitbbs.com/article/mitOCEF/15879_3.html
看看孩子们围拥在乒乓球台前的身影，看看孩子们挥动球拍的样子，是不是千里之外都能听到他们兴奋的笑声？
现在我们有望重复、甚至超越这个成绩。 从昨夜开始，短短一天之内，数十位网友共
捐赠超过16万伪币； 而这个数字还在增加。我们的目标是，至少20万。这让我们对接
下来的义卖充满期待。
规则如下：通过这个causes项目，你每捐10美元，凭收据可以到mitocef版领取1000伪
币。另外你的收据还可以作为免税凭证。另外请注意：凭捐款收据，你所在公司也许可以match你的捐款，所以请尝试一下，也许可以为孩子们带来一份意外惊喜。
活动结束后，我们会请国内的义工根据筹得善款数目推荐一个合适的项目，也许会是给另外一个学校的乒乓球台，也许会是说另外一些孩子的一个小图书室，又也许是给孩子们添些过冬的衣裳。 还可能是几个不同项目的组合。
唯一可以确定的是，我们不会辜负你的信任和支持；而你不会为你的付出感到后悔。我们会在这里以及MITBBS更新我们挑选的具体资助项目，日后还会更新项目的执行情况和受助学校的反馈。 我们相信，当你看到你的付出给孩子们平淡生活带去的变化，你会
象他们、象我们一样，感到幸福。

是不是也可以像去年那样， 支持直接paypal给ocef帐号的？
causes直接捐款：$1145
paypal捐款：$455
Fidelity Charitable Fund (check）捐款：$350
现在总数是$1950了 ：）））
那笔钱还没加进去，应该是4650了，有望突破5000。 现在就等国内义工的预算出来了
，看来可以给好多孩子添冬衣和雨鞋了 ：）
由于我现在不在美国了，所以只能捐伪币
本地的慈善团体捐款活动，几乎每个月都会做，我一般也是支持教育慈善活动。
请在捐款前登入OCEF在线募捐系统（https://ocef.org/pub)，填写捐款金额和指定用
途。然后在支票上注明捐款登记号码。由于义工手动录用人力有限，支票处理时间比较慢，一般3－6个星期。
