Day 7 - Daily Task - The Answer

The Daily Task for Day 7 is now closed!

Well done to everyone who submitted a joke and especially to those of you that were daring enough to make a video!

Your jokes were hilarious and Debbie and Dudu have been in stitches all day.

Come back soon to see the latest scoreboard and to find out which 3 jokes have been picked by Dudu as worthy of winning the Daily Prize, a Benji Lovitt T-Shirt!

Day 7 - Daily Task - Take The Olympic Challenge!

Hi everyone and welcome back to the game!

The 2012 Olympic Games are now well under way and, combined with the excitement of the Scavenger Hunt, we're all feeling our competitive juices flowing!

At the recent ROI Summit, comedian Benji Lovitt joined forces with a host of other ROI Community members to create our very own ROI Olympics:

 

Today's Daily Task is inspired by Benji and is designed to bring the comedian out of all of you! It is also another Daily Task with different grading levels. The more daring you are, the more points you'll earn.

The task is simple... tell us the funniest (clean) joke that you know!

To earn the points, you simply have to submit your joke as a post on the wall of the ROI Community Facebook page. But here's the deal... If you simply write your joke on the wall, you will earn 2 points. But , if you post a video of yourself telling your joke, you will earn 4 points! 

That's 4 points just for telling a joke! This offers a great opportunity for some of you to boost your points tally and significantly increase your chances of winning the big prize.

If you're lacking a little inspiration, here is a short video of Dudu sharing his favourite joke:

There is also, of course, a Daily Prize to be won today! Benji Lovitt recently collaborated with fellow his ROI Community member, David Kramer at NU Campaign, to produce his own range of T-Shirts. The 'Yiyeh B'seder' range celebrates the unique Israeli attitude of optimism in the face of adversity!

The 3 people who make Dudu laugh the hardest will each win a t-shirt of their choice.

Good luck everyone and remember to keep it clean!

Day 7 - Meet The ROIers - Olympic Fever!

The 2012 Olympic Games are now in full gear and we're all consumed by Olympic Fever!

Today we're highlighting the work of two social entrepreneurs who use sport as a vehicle for change.

Melisa Goldfinger works as Executive Co-ordinator of Heme Aqui, a school of life for people with special needs, where the game of golf is used as a tool for education and integration. The organisation created 'golf-therapy', a state of the art methodology to achieve inclusion of people with special needs in society by developing their self-esteem, sense of belonging and their physical, mental and social skills.

In 2007, Dina Buchbinder-Auron founded Deport-es para Compartir (Sports to Share), a civic and educational program that teaches children about values and important global issues through games and sports. Over 32,500 girls and boys have participated in this unique program.

GO TO THE SECRET WEBSITE AND SEARCH FOR "DUDU'S HIDING PLACE".

So, you needed to go to Flickr.com and search for "Dudu's Hiding Place". If you did that, you were greeted by the following picture of Dudu.

So, to complete the task, you needed to send an email to scavengerhunt@roicommunity.org, with "I love Dudu!" in the title!

Well done, to everyone who successfully completed the task. You all truly earned your 7 points! To everyone else, don't worry, there will be lots of opportunities to catch up in the coming days.

Shawn Landres is the CEO of Jumpstart, a research & design laboratory that the Jerusalem Post declared had "changed the global converstaion about Jewish innovation".

Eli Winkelman is the founder of Challah for Hunger, which brings people together to bake and sell challah, to raise money for good causes. After presenting Bill Clinton with a foil wrapped challah, Eli merited a mention in Clinton's book "Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World".
