Back when the RevGals ring and non-profit were established, we agreed that profits from our CafePress Store would be donated to Heifer International.
We just received a check from CafePress for our "dividend" on RGBP items you have bought there, and used the funds to make a gift of honeybees.
Your board wanted to let you know that your purchases of items such as the quintessential RevGals T-shirt help those less fortunate to build a sustainable living.
Yay!
ReplyDeleteIndeed it is very good!
ReplyDeleteHowever I need to share that as i read the post title in my BLoglist my mind automaticaly stared to fill int "tell me what's happenin'" a la Jesus Christ Superstar.
Yes I am a geek.
I love Heifer, so glad they are rcipients of the blog purchases....
ReplyDeleteGord, me too. :) Sing it! I am.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet it is! :)
ReplyDeleteYes, way to go!
ReplyDeleteI went to Nicaragua on a Fair Trade trip in January and learned that bee keeping is one way for women, who traditionally don't control/own land, to become more economically active. They can lease the land for their hives easily, because bees are good for other agricultural products as well. And their bee keeping/honey sales make a significant contribution to the family economy. Yeah, bees!
ReplyDeleteWe buzzed past honeybee and are on our way to rabbits in our VBS collection plate :) And it's only Tuesday!
ReplyDeletePastor Cindy - that's GREAT news! Thanks so much for sharing it.
