My friend and colleague is bringing a group of students from our University to Nicaragua to build a much-needed classroom. The group has $3,500 to raise before they go, and I thought I'd share the opportunity to help them with you.
To thank you for your generosity (any donation is generous in my book!), I'm running a little contest. Donate between now and December 26, and leave a comment here that you donated (again, any amount, and you don't have to tell me how much), and I'll enter your name for a glamorous prize. If you're a fiber-y person, I'll send you a skein of hand-dyed yarn. If not, I'll make you a cushy cowl.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
I just donated. I hope they raise the needed funds in time. Have they thought about posting this on FB?
