This just in, Breona’s sister Cedra does catering on Orcas Island and makes some mean cake. She actually makes a great vegan, gluten free cheesecake that could take over the world! Back to the topic, she made a cake to donate to the auction on June 6th. Go to the event, and bid on some amazing cake.
Take a gander at the images above.
My girlfriend Breona applied and was accepted for one of the OLPC Africa grants that is happening this summer (very soon!).
The broad information is that OLPC Africa gave grants of 100 laptops and $10,000 to 30 teams of students and non government organizations (NGOs). The teams will have a very short amount of time to prepare, as some people are leaving around June 4th to go to a training in Rwanda.
The NGO that Breona is associated with is called the East African Center. They are having a fundraiser June 6th downtown. Breona and I will be there with a few XO laptops for people to play with and will be talking about the laptops and the project.
The village of Takaungu makes some great clothing, bags, and other assorted textiles that will also be available for sale. You could ostensibly finish your Christmas shopping very early and help out a worthwhile cause!
