What is AIDvertisement
AIDvertisement is an ad-network which offers free ads for organizations like Greenpeace or UN Aids. By providing this service we want more attention directed in their direction and to the projects they deal with. Those NGOs are really doing a great job, still there is a lot to do, to get things right here on our—one and only—earth. But to really change something we need to gather. We need to go out there and talk to people we need to get our voices heard—and that is were you come in! Help to spread the word—we really need YOU! And that is really easy! With this project we want to provide an easy way for you to contribute to their work.

Acknowledgements
I would like to thank some people who inspired the project and helped me over the course:
- The basic idea and the look of the ads is mainly inspired by FusionAds.net. They do a great job and deliver awesome looking ads to the creative community out there.
- And I would like to thank a friend of mine—Sabi—for the name (AIDvertisement) and the great discussions about the problems in this world.
