Saturday morning, we piggy backed on my family's yard sale to raise funds for The Hope House in North Carolina and a well project in Zambia, Africa.
The kids collected yard sale type donations from their friends and neighbors, and showed up as early as 6:45 in the morning to get things set up and ready to go. The ever useful cage boxes were put to use again. And, of course, being us, we had some strange conversations and spent some time being more or less ridiculous.
All told, they raised $211.35 between the two organizations.
Hope House fundraiser = DONE
Well:being fundraiser = 11% of a deep well
Not too shabby!
