Six Apart (the company that runs the blogging platform Movable Type) is giving out free certificates to make $30 donations to any public school classroom project on the donorschoose.org web site. You can help a school pay for copies of Dorothy West’s The Wedding, art supplies for special-needs kids, a trip to Washington, D.C. to watch our government inaction in action, and so on. Email donorschoose@sixapart.com by noon today (I assume they mean PST, so 3:00 for us east coasters) and they will send you a code within 48 hours.
Go here to learn more about this (and to see that it’s not a hoax).
Since I am not really interested in others except insofar as they affect me, I waffled on this one, but in the end I decided that helping people for free would make me feel good about myself.
“When you help others, you can’t help helping yourself.”
Thank you for that last paragraph. You had me worried for a minute.
If you’re a waffle, I will pour syrup on you.
Oh, and babe…you’ve been tagged.
