Donation dollars at work!

Thanks again to everyone who helped with the fundraiser and also a big thanks to T for helping us get the money and donation to the right hands! The money was best used in different places as the need presented itself. $1,000 was hand delivered to Foyer De Sion. Some went to restock a couple orphanages with food. A large tent was able to be erected as a women's clinic (if the mothers are healthier then we have less chances of their children ending up in an orphanage, right?) Also some was spent on a small boy T found in a village who was not an orphan but needed medical attention desperately. T had discovered him on the trip before this one when he went to deliver food to a remote village. T told me that when he returned he would try to find to find him again and, if he was still alive, could we help with him with our donation. I told him a big fat "YES"! I will do a special post for him a little later! It is a touching story. But for now, here are some pics T sent of our $$$$ hard at work.

If anything can bring it home to your heart, this is it! Look at them. They are adorable and they are eating! Look at what we did together. You are all so amazing!

A product endorsement

This may be TMI, but I was in the bathroom the other day and since my magazine was missing I began to read the box of my feminine product of choice. After I got through all the scary information on TSS, something caught my eye. On the side on the box it said ...
"When you by our product you are helping girls in Africa..... to learn more visit this site" Well, You know I am all about helping girls in Africa but I had no idea I was doing it while I sat there...that's a big bonus for me.
I was curious and went to the website. I already new that girls in Africa miss lots of school because of there monthly visitor but I had no idea that P&G was doing something about it. Kind of interesting. Go ahead and learn more, even you guy readers can learn a thing or two and even help this cause with out an embarrassing trip to the store...My husband hates that errand!
