I can't believe another week of summer has flown by! Before I know it, the boys will be headed back to school and I'm going to be shoveling horse poop in the snow.
I have more great book news to share. As many of you know, a portion of my proceeds is going to benefit Koins for Kenya, a Utah non profit organization, that helps villages in Kenya through education and other efforts. Brett Van Leeuwen, the creator of this organization is headed to Kenya next week to open Koins newest school in the village of Majengo. In a ceremony to hand over the bore hole water wells Koins just finished, he is going to give copies of my book to the Minister of Education, Kilemi Mwiria and the Minister of Lands, Kombo Mwero. I am so excited and really hope that they enjoy my story. Like I said in my interview with KSL, although I can't pick up and go to Africa to be a part of the Koins for Kenya experience, I know that my pennies can make a difference. I hope that my book will bring attention to the fact that even though we have plenty of problems right here at home, we are so incredibly fortunate for what we have and it is still important to give back. Regardless of where you choose to help, what is important is that find something you are interested in and care about and find a way to help support that cause-whether by increasing awareness, recruiting volunteers, volunteering your time, or donating your pennies.
