Last week while reading catalystspace's blogposts I learned about this wonderful, upcoming event:

Last year Nuru International hosted its first nationwide Be Hope To Her event to raise awareness and empathy for the daily routine of millions of women and girls in the developing world. There were 11 colleges campuses that participated and that raised over $36,000.00 that changed thousands of peoples lives. This year there are over 24 colleges participating and three city-wide events in Southern California, Seattle and Pittsburgh. {Hey Kids...Are You Reading This?...love you ;}
Since I cannot be in Pittsburgh with my son to participate in this wonderful, Be Hope To Her event, then I'm motivated to do something here...no matter how small it may be. The Pittsburgh event is scheduled for Saturday, April 17th...which just so happens to be the same day of our Community Sponsored Spring Yard-sale! So I have decided that I am going to donate all of our personal yard sale proceeds to this very worthy cause. Cool beans or what :D I'm not trying to be a saint here either...we just have too much stuff here at the Love Shack...and I've already given away, to my friends and family, all that they needed or wanted. So...in lieu of us spending more money every month on storing all this STUFF...we had already decided to participate in the community yard sale...so this makes me...really motivated to MOVE MY MESS!So please, will you help us out by stopping by, if you are in the area, and help us and help them...just leave a comment with your contact information if you would like to find our more about the yard sale.
AND...if One Man's Junk is NOT your Treasure...then you can always go to Nuru International to find out about other ways to participate or to donate to their many other worthy programs. Thank You!
