Lunchbox napkin project! Reduce and Reuse!

For example: 2 lunchbox napkins used as placemat and napkin!

When daughter started preschool, the school's lunchbox policy was no waste (and two fruits and vegetables).  Every school day, I packed 2 cloth napkins: one for her placemat, and one to use.  Not sure if it's a french school lunch custom, but I thought the policy was lovely.  To carry on the tradition, I started the lunchbox napkin project.
It's ready to go...finally!!!..a few choices are posted on my Etsy site.  See sidebar for link to shop.
Thanks for your ongoing support.

If I had a dollar for every time I thought about this......

It would be complete!  But I don't.   Soooo, here's the nitty.

Still need: $8,000.00 (for the water/plumbing/sanitary component).

Proposed date for dormitory completion: May 2011.

What the dormitory will provide:  Housing for 160 female students (14-19 years old) at Samburu High School.

Why this is good:  Because the world needs more educated women.  Click here to read earlier serious stuff post.  See updated (!) side bar with links to articles.  Or just google:  educated women and poverty.

What you can do: Purchase a little goody or two, or three.  Send in a tax-deductible donation (if you use the paypal button, please specify water project, and send me an email so I can get tax deduction receipt to you).  Think about water and the people in our world without it.  Tell someone you know about water issues and/or this project.  Become a named or anonymous follower.  Do as little or as much as you can.  But just do something.
You'll feel better by participating.  You know you will.
