Erfurt – Whoever wants to give books this Christmas and do a good deed at the same time, can do just that at www.lalisio.com/christmas.

All proceeds from book sales made through Lalisio’s search engine from December 1st to the 31st of 2007 will go to a non-profit organization geared toward education. This does not however raise the price of book orders. The online knowledge network is donating all commissions from sales partners like Amazon, Abebooks and Lehmans Fachbuchhandlung.

Lalisio users have the opportunity to choose which project their purchase will support and can retrieve the current standings at any time. The project which will receive the donation will be announced on the website on December 24th.

Lalisio users can vote for one of the following projects:

START: START supports scholarship programs for gifted and driven students of immigrants in Germany. START offers students the opportunity to receive a better education and eases their integration into German society.

“Room to Read”: The “Room to Read” project offers better education opportunities for motivated students in India, Nepal, Cambodia and Vietnam. The goal of the organization is to offer students access to an education and to fight illiteracy.

Boy’s Home: The Boy’s Home education center for homeless children in Cebu is a project of “Impulse für Straßenkinder e.V.” and the Salesians of Don Bosco. Homeless children and youths in the Cebu region of the Philippines are supported through this program.
