Week in Review


There are 1,000,000 children at risk of dying from malnutrition in Sahel.  UNICEF put out this video to help spread the word before it is too late.  Click here to learn more about how you can help.

Our hearts go out to those in Mathare who lost their loved ones this week.

For our supporters in New York, this run is helping get Haitian children to school.  Run through Central Park and help children be able to attend school?  Sounds like a great plan to us!

We are so inspired by Fr. José “Pepe” Moratalla's work in El Salvador to decrease rates of violence through education. 

I was so excited for my JADEtribe make-up bag from Histoire to arrive this week.  The packaging at Histoire says it all "created by hands.  packaged with conscience. making goodness happen."  So not only is my new JADEtribe make-up bag great looking it is handmade from organically dyed and recycled textiles by tribal women in Asia.  JADEtribe was started when designer Kimberly Hartman traveled to Southeast Asia and now she works with women in Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.  Thanks to Histoire and JADEtribe every time I look at my new bag I will think about our upcoming project to provide 3,400 uniforms to children in Cambodia.


Hope you all have a wonderful long weekend!  We are looking forward to some much needed time with our families!
