join my villAGEGeneral Mills and CARE have partnered fight global poverty. The program, Join My Village, channels the power of online communities to help real communities in Malawi ignite hope, inspire action, and create lasting change. General Mills has pledged to donate up to $500,000 and you can help get the money rolling by taking part in a variety of simple online activities, like joining a village team, answering a quiz question, and inviting friends. Plus, if you donate, General Mills will match it dollar for dollar (up to $50,000). All funds raised go straight to Malawi to support CARE’s proven approaches to fighting poverty, including the establishment of village savings and loan associations (VSLAs) and increasing access to education for girls.

“Oh, The Places You’ll Go” End of School-Year Tradition

It’s not too much longer till the school year comes to a close, so I wanted to share this amazing idea I found on…you guessed it…Pinterest. You all know the book Oh, The Places You’ll Go from Dr. Seuss. It’s a great graduation gift. But, Lisa from Lisa’s Workshop suggests grabbing a copy when your kid is young. At the end of each school year, give it to your child’s teacher to sign or write a note. When you’re child graduates (hard to think of!), you’ll have a lovely gift to give him/her. Lisa has even included some lovely tags in her blog post, so make sure to go check it out.

For more clever ideas like this, make sure to follow me on Pinterest.
