The ONE-WISH Pledge campaign
Started in 2009 in aid of the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK has continued to gain momentum, so without any doubt I have decided to continue the campaign indefinitely.
Therefore, for every single person who makes a wish on one-wish.co.uk between the 1 July 2011 – 31 December 2012, I promise to continue to donate 1p per wish to the following charity: Make-A-Wish Foundation UK. This may not sound much but hopefully if everyone reading this pledge makes a wish and shares this with their family and friends this will soon add up. My fourth payment to the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK was made on the 1 July 2011 as promised.

Does my website one-wish.co.uk make any money
I am often asked this question but I didn’t develop my website to make money, I developed it for the following two reasons, firstly to raise awareness of the Make-A-Wish Foundation who are an absolutely wonderful charitable world wide organisation, who’s sole purpose is to grant magical wishes to children and young people aged 3-17 fighting life-threatening illnesses and secondly, to reach out to everyone and anyone from the different corners of “our” world, to give them a place where they can share their innermost wish, giving each and everyone a sense of hope, letting them know that they are not alone. I hope eventually I would be able to establish a network of people and organisations who would help me to help those who genuinely need the help of others.
That is why I developed my website www.one-wish.co.uk
Many Thanks
Kind Regards

2011 ONE-WISH and beyond
First and foremost may I wish everyone a Happy New Year and may all your wishes, and dreams become a reality in 2011…….
2010 has been another fantastic year for one-wish, not only have we received over 7,000 wishes from different people, from different countries from around “our” world, but it’s given me the opportunity to meet and make many new friends, friends I would not have known if it wasn’t for one-wish.
I would just like to take this brief opportunity to mention a couple of friends I have met through one-wish who are both exceptional and wonderful people, Wendy and Tom Rees. Wendy is a BEST selling author of six books whose latest book is “Dog Lover's Daily Companion: 365 Days of Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Living a Rich Life with Your Dog”. Wendy amazingly manages to find the time to run her own website wendynanrees.com along with a blog which is a must visit especially if you like our four legged friends. The blog is called adogsvoyagearoundtheworld.blogspot.com and is an absolutely fantastic, fun and informative site for both adults and children alike.
Tom is a very creative guy with a vision, a vision to help others in need and is the creator and founder of reesnetworks.com who have focused their attention and developed the largest single database of sober livings and halfway houses in the US soberlivingsearch.com with the sole purpose of helping those who truly need the help and support of others. Tom also runs his own blog dontdiecrying.com and once again I must recommend a visit to all of Tom’s sites as I believe just like I did that you will certainly gain a different and clearer perspective and understanding of life outside “our” own.
Both Wendy and Tom have become very good friends, and I am glad that thanks to one-wish that I have had the opportunity to get to know and meet these wonderful people in person.
I would also like to make a special mention for Wendy’s sister, Carol Ann Emquies who is the chairman of the Africa Schoolhouse Foundation who are committed to building sustainable school communities for children in underserved areas of Africa. Their goal is to aid the progress of learning using modern technology and environmentally conscious methods while safeguarding the traditional teachings of cultural heritage.
Thanks to Carol and her team at the Africa Schoolhouse Foundation the children of Ntulya Village now enjoy a much higher standard of education than they may otherwise have received. It’s absolutely wonderful and very inspirational to see the continued development of the facilities now being made available at the Ntulya Primary School which in turn is giving every single child the same opportunity and chance in life as those of our very own children. This is such a worthwhile organisation, and it is the children who are the true beneficiaries of such a wonderful organisation. For more information on their great work just log onto the africaschoolhouse.org
Now back to the events on one-wish.
Events have continued to move at a pace here at one-wish during the year. We have had over 2,000 people subscribe to the one-wish mailing list to be kept in touch with the latest happenings and offerings on one-wish.

The ONE-WISH Pledge campaign which was started way back in 2009 in aid of the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK has continued to gain momentum, so without any doubt I have decided to continue the campaign indefinitely.
Therefore, for every single person who makes a wish on one-wish.co.uk between the 1 January 2011 – 30 June 2011, I promise to continue to donate 1p per wish to the following charity: Make-A-Wish Foundation UK. This may not sound much but hopefully if everyone reading this pledge makes a wish and shares this with their family and friends this will soon add up. My third payment to the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK was made on the 1 January 2011 as promised.
Please help me to help others and thank you for your continued support…….
Finally, just a little reminder of 10 GREAT reasons to discover what one-wish can do for you.
• Submit YOUR most desired wish online via a simple, easy to use web-form.
• Scroll through over 7,000 wishes from people from around “Our World” all of which have been categorised for you into easy to follow sections: Love, Money, Fame and many, many more.
• Start shopping for the New Year in the NEW ONE-WISH Online Store in association with AMAZON. You can buy anything from the latest DVD to a new MP3 Player or even a vacuum cleaner if that’s what you need, directly and online without even leaving one-wish.
• Tweet your favourite part of one-wish to your followers.
• Come along and JOIN one-wish as a Friend and become a part of one-wish.
• Enter our Monthly Prize Draw for a box of one-wish Goodies
• Share any part or feature you like on one-wish with your friends and family….on Facebook, MySpace, Bebo and many more social websites with just the click of your mouse.
• Submit and follow a Good News story or just read the wonderful things that have been happening around our world.
• Subscribe to the NEW one-wish news channel (RSS) and be the FIRST to know of the new and exciting developments on one-wish, FIRST for great offers, FIRST for competitions and more……..
• A new, clean and fresh looking website layout with very easy to follow navigation, you won’t get lost on one-wish.
All the above is just a taster of what is now on offer to you at one-wish, so I really hope that when you have a few minutes to spare you will drop by and discover for yourself the wonderful goings on at one-wish.
In 2008 I created and founded my website with the sole aim of eventually helping others and one day this aim will become a reality, a reality not for commerce but for each and everyone of us, a place where sincerity, honesty and goodness will prevail and bring hope and a little joy of Christmas closer to those whom only wish to enjoy the same peace and harmony you, and I are both enjoying today.
My own philosophy on life has always and will remain simple “If I can help to make someone’s life easier, happier and fulfilling for at least one day, then this alone is good enough for me, why complicate life. Tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone, but if I’m lucky enough to be here then let me make a difference, no matter how small that difference may be.
Always remember one thing, life is a gift and is for living, live it to its fullest everyday. I believe I am who I am because of everyone, not just because of who I am.
Thank you for sparing a few minutes to read this update, and finally I would like to thank each and everyone of you who has so kindly visited my website, because if it wasn’t for you my website would not be the success it is today!
Many Thanks

This may well sound really strange....
Did anyone else see bright orange lights in the sky over Didsbury (UK) last night...... at around 11 - 11:30pm, there were 3 evenly spaced orange glowing lights travelling in a north/west direction. At first I thought they might have been helicopters or even planes, but they seemed to be travelling too close together and there was no noise or additional flashing lights. These 3 lights disappeared into a cloud, but then they were closely followed by another 2 again flying close together and then by another 3, then 1 by 1, about 12 in all over a 30 minute period. This was so surreal and very strange... and before you say it, no, I hadn't been drinking last night.
Upon doing some research this morning on the internet this is certainly not the first occasion of people seeing these bright orange lights, there have been many similar sightings throughout the UK especially in and around Manchester over the past couple of years. If you don’t believe me just Google the above, it’s actually very fascinating to read all the reports.
I know this post is not in relation to my website, but it was something I experienced last night, and I wanted to share this with my readers.
Thank you for reading.

one-wish surpasses 1st goal, over 5,000 Wishes!
I am very pleased to announce that thanks to each and every one of you who kindly dropped by one-wish.co.uk and left your wish have helped me to surpass my 1st goal. Over 5,000 wishes have now been made! Please help me to take this to the next level of 10,000 by asking your friends and family to drop by, thank you Mike.
Wishes are significant in human life. They may be defined as a hope, dream or love for something. Wishes make their presence felt from folklore to literature. While fiction is about supernatural wishes, sometimes entire tales revolve around wishes. Classically, the wish provider is a Genie, or spirit, after all who can ever forget the Aladdin's oil lamp or a container closed with Solomon's seal. Some cultures encourage people to "make a wish", such wishing upon a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a well, or blowing out the candles on a birthday cake. When times are tough they offer us the much needed comfort, giving us a hint of hope and luck
Take Care

Just a little up-date on one-wish.
Great news…..I am rapidly approaching a milestone of mine where I set a goal at the beginning of the year to attract 5,000 people to leave a wish upon my website one-wish, and I would like to thank each and everyone of you who have kindly contributed your personal wish. It would be absolutely wonderful if with your help, I could surpass this goal before the end of August. So if you like my website may I ask if you would kindly pass on my website details to your friends and family and ask if they would kindly leave a wish…….
Thanks to my own one-wish pledge campaign I've just made my second donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (UK), and due to the success of this campaign I have decided to continue to promote my campaign for at least another year.

Watch out for my new book soon.....................
My Philosophy on life is simple, if I can help to make someone’s life easier, happier and fulfilling for at least one day, then this alone is good enough for me, why complicate life.
Tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone, but if I’m lucky enough to be here then let me make a difference, no matter how small that difference may be and always remember one thing, life is a gift and is for living, live-it, love-it to its fullest everyday!
I believe I am who I am because of everyone, not just because of who I am.
Thanks to my own one-wish pledge campaign I've just made my second donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation (UK), and due to the success of this campaign I have decided to continue to promote my campaign for at least another year.

Please spare a couple of minutes to read "Our World"
Our World
Every year I ask just like many of us do…… what can I, one person do to make a difference?
This year I’ve decided to do something about it, I’m going to make that difference. I will show that just one person with the help and support of all the people who are reading this, their family and friends that in fact together working as a team we can and will make that difference, so here goes…..
Yes, we all know that currently the world over is experiencing economic hardship – more commonly known to you and I as the “Credit Crunch” and not to mention the severity of our Winter weather but these harsh times will end and it’s inevitable that the future will become brighter and these past turbulent years will be written into our history!
The future of “Our World” is in the hands of our Children it is our Children who will care for us as we grow older, it is our Children who will write our laws and bring prosperity and freedom to our lands, but lets not forget there are many children out there in fact millions who need our help, help in helping them to gain the knowledge and understanding of “Our World” a world which is fast becoming as one, thanks to our modern day science and technologies. Who would have thought as little as 20 years ago or even 10, maybe 5 years that today you and I could see and play games with our friends living thousands of miles away in America, China etc.. from our living room in our own homes or from the airplane which can take us around “Our World” in a matter of a single day! I want to use this technology to reach out to everyone and help bring together the people of our world, people who can and will help make that difference to those who need it the most, our Children.
There are Children who do not have the same opportunities that our children may have, they do not enjoy the same comforts as we may have and most of all they may not have the essentials of food, shelter and basic education which we all take so much for granted. So this brings me to my one-wish aim. I want to raise £1,000,000 ($1,500,000) to start a building program to build a school for the less privileged Children in as many continents of “Our World” as possible starting in Africa, then on to the America’s, Asia and more… I would like to equip these schools with the modern technologies that will help the Children achieve their own goals, which in turn will lead to a better world for everyone no matter of their race, colour or creed and bring unity to all!
I am certainly under no illusion, this will be a mammoth undertaking but all I can say I will certainly give it my best as I believe with all your help, advice and working closely as a team we will and can achieve this and more for the benefit of the less privileged Children of “Our World” our future!
You can help me to help others in many ways;
Simply by making a small donation, for example:
1) Advice,
2) Building Services,
3) Clothes,
4) Land,
5) Money,
6) Skills,
7) Technology,
8) The list is endless….
Or,
Simply help by just telling this story to your family and friends.
I believe it only takes for someone to have the courage and the goal to take the first important step. You and I may only be one individual or corporation but with your help and your family and friends help this one-wish will become a reality for many…..
I stress there is no obligation what-so-ever, as my greatest reward is that so many should approve and participate in the project, and so feel that they want to spread 'the word' with mentions to family, friends etc. However for those wishing to make a contribution towards my one-wish aim, your generosity is much appreciated, and is made easy and secure by quite simply clicking on the 'Donate' button on one-wish.co.uk .
Alternatively if you would like to pledge your support or donation please simply complete the short form on one-wish.co.uk
I plan to publish a book and an online version listing every person or company who generously makes a donation to “Our World” no matter how large or small that donation may be, every little will count. Everyone will have an option to have just their name listed or their name and donation or they can remain totally anonymous if they like. A copy of the book will be given to each school to be kept forever, to remind all who may visit of the generosity and goodwill of the people of our world.
My Philosophy on life is simple, if I can help to make someone’s life easier, happier and fulfilling for at least one day, then this alone is good enough for me, why complicate life. Tomorrow is not a guarantee for anyone, but if I’m lucky enough to be here then let me make a difference, no matter how small that difference may be. Always remember one thing, life is a gift and is for living, live it to its fullest everyday! I believe I am who I am because of everyone, not just because of who I am.
Please help me to help others.
If you would like to know more please don’t hesitate to contact me at ourworld@one-wish.co.uk
I would like to thank each and every one of you who has taken the time to read my one-wish aim “Our World”. Thank you.

Welcome 2010
First and foremost may I wish everyone a VERY…….Happy New Year and I hope in the New Year which also heralds the start of a new DECADE all your dreams and wishes become reality…….
2009 has been a fantastic year for one-wish as not only has it received nearly 3,000 wishes from different people from different countries from around “our” world, but it’s given me the opportunity to meet and make many new friends, friends which I would not have known if it wasn’t for one-wish.
I would just like to take this brief opportunity to mention a couple of my new friends who are both exceptional and wonderful people, Wendy and Tom Rees. Wendy who has her own weekly Live Radio show Wendy’s Animal Talk, is also a BEST selling author of six books whose latest book “Dog Lover's Daily Companion: 365 Days of Tips, Tricks, and Techniques for Living a Rich Life with Your Dog” was currently at No 2 in the charts the last time we spoke. During the Summer Wendy made the most generous offer to the Make-A-Wish Foundation UK to grant any child who would like to be on Wendy’s Animal talk live radio show in LA a wish to come TRUE. For those of you who do not know the Make-A-Wish Foundation are a charitable organisation, who grant wishes to both children and young people who have life threatening illnesses.

Wendy also runs her own website www.petlifestyleadvisor.com and a blog which is a must visit especially if you like our four legged friends. The blog is called www.adogsvoyagearoundtheworld.blogspot.com and is absolutely fantastic, fun and informative for both adults and children alike.
Tom is the founding manager of http://www.reesnetworks.com/ who have developed a fantastic website called http://soberlivingsearch.com/index.php Tom also runs his own blog http://dontdiecrying.com/ I think after visiting both sites you will gain a different and clearer perspective of life outside “our” own.
Both Wendy and Tom have become very good friends and I am very glad thanks to one-wish that I have had the opportunity to get to know these wonderful people on a more personal level.
I would like to make a special mention for Wendy’s sister, Carol Ann Emquies who is the chairman of the Africa Schoolhouse Foundation who are committed to building sustainable school communities for children in underserved areas of Africa. Their goal is to aid the progress of learning using modern technology and environmentally conscious methods while safeguarding the traditional teachings of cultural heritage. This is such a worthwhile organisation and it is the children who are the true beneficiaries of such a wonderful organisation. For more details log onto either http://www.africaschoolhouse.org or visit one-wish.
Now back onto one-wish.
During the year over 1,000 joined the one-wish mailing list to be kept in touch with the happenings and offerings on one-wish and on the subject of offerings; one-wish has just recently launched a new FREE Monthly and Bonus Prize Draw, giving every visitor the chance to win a box of one-wish goodies!
Finally, due to the great success of my ONE-WISH Pledge campaign I have decided to continue the campaign for a further six months. Therefore for every single person that makes a wish on one-wish.co.uk between the 1 January 2010 – 30 June 2010 I promise to continue to donate 1p per wish to the following charity: Make a Wish Foundation UK It may not sound much but hopefully it will soon add up if everyone reading this pledge makes a wish and shares this with their family and friends! (My first payment to the Make a Wish Foundation UK was made on the 31 December 09 as promised)
Please help me to help others, thankyou…….

Why do we all make Wishes
Wishing is significant in human life. It may be defined as a hope or yearning for something. Wishes make their presence felt from folklore to literature. While fiction is all about supernatural wishes, sometimes an entire tale revolves around wishes. Classically, the wish provider is a Genie, spirit, or similar entity after all who can ever forget the Aladdin's oil lamp or a container closed with Solomon's seal. Some cultures encourage people to "make a wish", such wishing upon a shooting star at night, tossing a coin into a wishing well, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, or breaking the wishbone of a cooked turkey. When times are tough, wishes offer the much needed comfort.
So drop by one-wish.co.uk and make your WISH today!
Hope to see you there soon.
Kind Regards
Mike.

Africa Schoolhouse Foundation
One-wish is very pleased to have come across the Africa Schoolhouse Foundation www.africaschoolhouse.org/ who are committed and endeavouring to bring the standards of schooling and life to a self sustainable level for the less fortunate Children and Villages of “Our World” to a level that most of us all take for granted.
Please drop by www.africaschoolhouse.org/projects.html to see their latest project; Ntulya School House. 100% of any donation made will go directly to the Ntulya project and benefit the Children directly.
“Africa Schoolhouse Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable and educational organization that is a public charity for U.S. tax purposes. We are committed to building sustainable school communities for children in underserved areas of Africa. Our goal is to aid the progress of learning using modern technology and environmentally conscious methods while safeguarding the traditional teachings of cultural heritage"

Mission Statement
This is one the most absolute worthwhile cause’s I have come across whilst operating my website. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone associated with the Africa Schoolhouse Foundation for their commendable and honourable work and drive to make the world a better place for all those who are less fortunate.
An extract from their latest newsletter, December 2009
Some of the young children of Ntulya (town. village)
Choo (pronounced "cho") is the Swahili word for toilet. In Ntulya, we have begun construction on eco-friendly; sustainable, self-composting pit latrines for our campus of 14 classrooms and 10 teacher houses. The school enrolment of 630 students requires 30 latrines for both girls and boys; the teachers living on campus in 10 individual homes will require one latrine each. These hygienic and innovative toilets are simple: while one pit is in use, the other is left covered. Within two years, the waste in the covered pit will dry up, ridding itself of pathogens, so that it's suitable for use as clean and usable crop fertilization!
And while this topic may seem an odd one for the holidays, remember to be especially grateful if you're blessed with proper and clean sanitation today - because many people (one-third of the world's population - 2.5 billion folks), unfortunately, are not.
Just before you go please take a moment to consider
6 in every 10 Africans lack access to a proper toilet.
In sub-Saharan Africa, 322 million people lack access to clean water and 463 million people lack access to adequate sanitation.
Together, unclean water and poor sanitation are a leading cause of child mortality: an estimated 5,000 children die daily from diarrhoea, which is spread through poor sanitation and poor hygiene. Universal access to improved sanitation could reduce diarrhoea-related morbidity by more than a third.
Studies have found that about half of girls who drop out of primary school in sub-Saharan Africa do so because of a lack of separate toilets and easy access to safe water
...and, please help spread the word.
