Laura has expanded her challenge, as I’d hoped she might, to include giving throughout the year. Laura’s challenge this month was to help a charity in her local area, Ski4E, and I do plan to make a donation there, but I also want to talk about my own giving efforts.
This month, I took the plunge and sponsored a child through Save the Children, an organization recommended to me by Emily. It costs $28 a month. How shameful that I spend about that much eating my lunch and breakfast out each week, and the little boy I sponsored, B. from Mozambique, will benefit so much from this small amount.
I e-mailed B. today and I’m excited to be able to exchange letters back and forth with him. I’ll keep you all posted on what I hear.
I’m hoping those of you who played along in December 2007 on my other blog or along with Laura will come and check in here, too. Let me know about your own plans. Give me some good ideas!
What happened to Banana Smothie? I like that! I think it is awesome that you are doiong this site!!! I hope more people will do it too. I linked to you on our site too, Coco. You are COOL.
You like the Banana Smoothie one? I thought it was hard to read, but if you like it, I’ll change it back.
I think you’re cool, too.
Hey Coco!
Count the Emster and me in for this site/effort!
Don’t go changing, Coco..although it seems you did. We switched bcause she needed page tabs at the top…don’t think you can do that with this one.
Not only heart touching, but should be so much fun too. Looking forward to learning all about B.
