Indego Africa is a nonprofit organization with a program that takes crafts from women artisans in Rwanda and returns 100% of its fairtrade sales to cooperatives that provide job training programs and capital projects in Rwanda. Just wanted to give a shout out to Susanna (sp?) Ware and Indego Africa for there work on behalf of women and children.

For today – to use the many blogs, stories and other internet links to spread the word about poverty. For tomorrow – to help at my local rec center which is being flooded with kids from familys who are newly homeless or unemployed.
