How you’re helping the children of Haiti

Lisa Chan — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 20:00:52 +0000

The check for over $580,000 was just received in Haiti yesterday and I wanted to show you what a huge difference the FarmVille farmers will make to this community. Below are pictures of the kitchen where NO food has been offered for a long, long time, and the money that you helped raised through the FarmVille Sweet Seeds campaign, will go towards the restoration of this kitchen and making sure there’s food for everyone. In fact, the ovens will be paid for tomorrow!

Thanks to Laura Hartman who is on site and helping Zynga accomplish our goals with Zynga.org, we’re able to actually see how your Sweet Seeds donations are helping the greater good. We’re on track for meals to be served to the kids in this community in January.

Our second campaign is running right now, where you can purchase more Sweet Seeds–Sweet Corn, in fact.

Thanks to everyone for making this happen! The Sweet kids of Haiti are so thankful!

FarmVille Fan’s Birthday Cake

Lisa Chan — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:29:17 +0000

Had to share. I got an email from Maria, one of our very passionate FarmVille players. Maria was celebrating Lily’s birthday and to her, it only made sense to create the ultimate FarmVille cake for her and all her friends (see pics below).

What’s also great about this group of FarmVille farmers/friends, is that they live in different places around the world. Maria is from Bahrain, Lily is from Greece, and the rest of their friends are from the U.S., Canada, Germany, Philippines, New Zealand and Oman. Now if that doesn’t show you how Zynga is is truly connecting the world through games, I don’t know what would.

Happy Birthday Lily and thanks to Maria for sharing. Love it!
