As mentioned in previous blog posts, I promised to use money earned from
my Random Acts of Kindness Thanksgiving Bundle towards helping people in
my community. I have purchased a collection of Christmas gifts for Giving Trees around town and donated food for charity food hampers. My Thanksgiving Bundle was lucky enough to
feature in the TPT newsletter and sold a lot more than I expected. In the
spirit of Paying it Forward and Random Acts of Kindness I was inspired by a
fellow tpt seller 'Literary Sherri' who has been supporting a site
called KIVA. Kiva is a non-profit organization with a
mission to connect people through lending to alleviate poverty through
micro-financing. Kiva lets individuals lend small amounts of money to help
create opportunity around the world.
Sarah Annes Creative Classrooms (that’s me :) has just started 2
loans with the profits from my Thanksgiving and Christmas bundle. The
loans will be helping Oahn in Vietnam http://www.kiva.org/lend/644038
and Kanha in Cambodia http://www.kiva.org/lend/643997 both
women are seeking loans to fund higher education. A wonderful cause!!
What a wonderful way to spend my profits from my random act of kindness
bundle - it just feels right!
