Marcus what a powerful message. Times are a bit tough, but i will be taking all the loose change i have and donating it to UNICEF through Coinstar….I too, believe in zero…good luck and thanks for the important reminder…
These blogs are a wonderful idea. In difficult economic times, when many people are reducing their charitable donations, I think it’s important to realize that a lifesaving difference can be made for just a few dollars.
I am using my blog to help spread the word and will chose an Inspired Gift of my own.
My thanks to Marcus Samuelsson for this interesting blog on how Plumpy Nut can save lives and empower families.
Thanks to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF for your tireless work for the world’s children.
I, too, believe in zero.
