Karaoke to help the children
I am teaming up with @teamaustralia who run charity fundraisers and who have already raised funds for patients of a children's hospital in Brisbane, Australia, coloring pencils and iPads were donated. Well, Team Australia is at it again, this year with many more charity fundraising efforts and I believe this is something that all of us can support.
All SBD raised from this post will be donated to @teamaustralia, upon payout so push that slider to 100%. Everything goes to support the 5 other charity projects that they are planning on donating to this year. This is a great cause and I am looking forward to teaming up with them more in the future.
Here is a post with some information on the results of one of their recent charity drives.
The rest of the post is comprised of the pieces of @teamaustralia's member posts explaining the process of participating in the karaoke fundraiser.
So what do we want you to do?
Well, it's simple: Just sing along to the song "I Still Call Australia Home" - But replace Australia with your home country. Simple as that!!!
How about some encouragement from the first two awesome singers!!! These are FANTASTIC!!!!

"I Still Call Australia Home"
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home
I'm always traveling, I love being free
And so I keep leaving the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home
All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their family and friends
But as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends
But someday we'll all be together once more
When all of the ships come back to the shore
Then I realise something I've always known
I still call Australia home
(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home
(But no matter how far or wide I roam)
Oh I still call Australia
I still call Australia
I still call Australia home

How shall the prizes be handed out?
Well, this isn’t a contest, it is meant to be a fun way to raise some funds for a worthy cause.
So rather than make it a “contest” we’ll be looking at all the participants who contribute to the fundraiser as equals and there won’t be any judges or juries, just a simple random number generator which shall decide who all gets a prize for participating and helping out in the Team Australia fundraising efforts.

So make sure that you slide that voter to 100% and upvote this post because all of the SBD raised on this post will be donated to @teamaustralia when it pays out. A full 100% upvote recharges in two and a half hours, but will mean the world to the children that will be receiving the donations.
