    We are looking for primary and secondary teachers to donate questions to a new website called <snip> which allows the student to generate medicine for GOAL simply through revising for their exams. The website is 100% non profit.

    We are especially looking to increase the number of categories for exam students as they begin revising in the coming months.

    Sounds like a nice idea, but you might like to reconsider your heading. It does rather read as though teachers are being obliged to donate questions! How about 'Teachers needed to donate etc.'

    Kinda don't get the idea of it? Why can't these companies donate money easier?
    One point of feedback, I tried it and same questions kept coming up after a while.

    Thanks very much for taking a look at the website and for your feedback.

    Companies advertise on websites. Thats how boards make their money. Here companies have an opportunity to advertise on a website and they donate their advertising fees directly to GOAL. This is also tied in with education as the companies only pay for the correct answers generated. It's just a way of earning money for GOAL while offering a free educational tool for students.

    Regarding the questions repeating that's why I put up this thread. We are looking for teachers that may have a collection of questions or may be prepared to come up with questions for the website. Hopefully then it will be a useful free resource for teachers and students around the country. It's 100% non profit so all proceeds generated through the advertiser go directly to GOAL.

    Many thanks again.

    I'm sorry grinds, but while I appreciate that you only have good intentions here, I'm afraid we can't permit this thread to stay open and I've removed the link from your OP. If we were to allow posts like this the site would soon be overrun with people looking for help/donations to their favourite cause. The fact that there are commercial links for advertisers on your site also breaches our no advertising rules. As I said, I know it's for a good cause, but they're all good causes and we can't be seen to favour one over all the others.
