Passports With Purpose (PWP) is hosting their 4th annual fundraising blogging event to support building two libraries in Zambia. My dedicated sponsor is the W Atlanta Downtown and they have really stepped up support for this cause by donating 2 weekend nights at the W Atlanta Downtown Hotel.
With your help, our goal is to raise $80,000 to build two libraries in southern and eastern Zambia through Room to Read’s Reading Room program. In this post I’ll lay out details how you can support the great cause and win one of many travel prizes. Our focus here at Points, Miles & Martinis is on the best travel deals, but supporting this cause is a deal in and of itself.

I just got back from Atlanta and that would have been a great hotel to stay at.
Been reading your archives, especially your Bora Bora trip!!
Thanks and will be a regular here.
Hi Benny – Thanks for reading the archives. Glad you like the trip reports.
The W Atlanta Downtown is a great hotel. You can win 2 nights for as little as a $10 donation, and there is no limit to the number of donations you can make.
Will do. Plus some other prizes look really great!
@Benny – I’m working on a few reports of the W Atlanta Downtown hotel. Keep an eye out for room pictures, martinis with their mixologist, pictures from their lobby lounge and a meal at BLT.
Just saw your comment on my blog. Looking forward to my stay! What a great cause.
