Sitepoint Bushfire Relief Sale: Helping raise donations

The world is stunned with the news about Bushfires in Australia which claimed more than 170 lives, and more than 5000 people are homeless with every part of their property burnt to ashes and tar. And it has occurred in the vicinity of Melbourne, around 160 kms away from the city. But still its not totally the bushes that were present, but people were inhabited and all affected due to the fires.

SitePoint has its headquarters in Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria [1], a state in the south-east corner of Australia. A little over five million Australians call Victoria their home—that’s about 25% of Australians living in 3% of its land area. Approximately 15% of Victoria’s population live in rural farmlands and forests. SitePoint staff members have been personally affected by this disaster; friends have lost their properties, their homes, and their lives.

So, Sitepoint has decided to sell 5 books at the price of 1, which is $30 per book originally now costs $30 for 5 books of your choice related to Designing, Flash, Php etc. and all the money that is gained in this would directly go as donations to the Country Fire Authority (CFA) which would help people again start their life after the big disaster.

The pictures from Boston.com could clearly explain how damaging the fire was, and the temperature of 47-degree celsius is not less. The continued fire led to melting of tyres, metal of cars and houses and finally claimed large number of peoples’ lives.
Every single penny earned through the discounted sale would go the Red Cross society which would aid the CFA to help the suffered families and people in those locations.
The fire still continues to burn and the death toll keeps rising from people who were shifted to medical emergencies due to their critical stages.

This is a great help from the web community which is trying to collect as much as $50k through the sales. Lets help the people from the web! Check and support the Bushfire Relief Sale.
