It's back, and more ambitious than ever! Last year, Passports with Purpose raised enough money to build a school in Cambodia. This year, the goal is to build an entire village in South India.

In conjunction with Land for Tillers’ Freedom (LAFTI), PwP aims to raise $50,000 to improve the lives of the Dalits, India’s most neglected class of citizens. Travelbloggers from across the globe are banding together to support this great cause, by donating some amazing prizes and spreading the good word.

Here's how to participate:

* Browse the list of prizes and enter a tax-deductible contribution for a chance to win that prize. Each $10 donation to LAFTI equals one drawing entry. Prizes range from airfare and hotel stays, to travel clothing and gear, to a Nerds Eye View ukelele. I have to say, the depth and breadth of prize donations this year is most impressive.

* Get the word out! Tell your friends, shout it from the rooftops, mention it at your next holiday party. 'Tis the season for generosity and goodwill, after all. If you have a blog or site, promote PwP to your readers. Tweet about it using hashtag #PwP. There's also a Facebook Fan Page.

* If you've been naughty this year and need to obtain a few extra good-karma points to avoid getting coal in your stocking, consider donating a prize or becoming a sponsor. You can also make a donation without choosing a prize.

Don't delay! The raffle closes December 13, and winners will be announced December 17.
