Nice! but no big deal.
Imagine you replied, "my buddy Mandela and I had tea together...you two should meet up, he is a nice guy actually...his wife makes amazing 'gefilte-fish'.
Thanks to Mastercard, this is possible!
"From the 14th May 2007, for ten days only, the MasterCard Priceless Moments charity auction will give people worldwide the opportunity to fulfill their dreams by bidding online for a host of 'money-can't-usually-buy' South African and International celebrity priceless moments, in order to raise funds for seven African children's charities.
The charities that will benefit from the MasterCard Priceless Moments initiative are:
The Walter Sisulu Paediatric Cardiac Centre for Africa (WSPCCA), the Childhood Cancer Foundation (CHOC), the Reach For A Dream Foundation, Cotlands, the South African Red Cross Society, the Ithemba Trust and the St. Mary's Aids Hospital in KwaZulu Natal.
Together these charities face enormous financial challenges every day to provide for approximately half a million children collectively.The initiative was borne out of a visit to the WSPCCA in Johannesburg in 2006, by two former state presidents - Bill Clinton and Nelson Mandela. Moved by what he saw at the Centre, President Clinton donated US$30 000 to help two children receive life-saving heart surgery.
Not to be outdone, Mandela joined Mrs. Albertina Sisulu, widow of Mandela's late friend and mentor Walter Sisulu, in offering up their time to be auctioned off to raise funds for the Centre." (http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/news_press_release,90753.shtml)
I believe this is the ebay page. Please mark these dates and donate. Alternatively it gives you the possibility to get an email reminder regarding the auction.
My Promise:
If one of my readers is the lucky winner! (lucky because he/she is rich enough to win!)
I will donate priceless tea for the occasion.

Of course I would need proof that you are the winner - inviting me to join in is at least one way I can think of.
