1.) Donate $10 for each book you see in this
photo. (There are 19.) Easy! Complete! Check written out for $190 for my home
church’s Haiti Fund!
2.) For the months of October and November,
donate a package of bar soap (eight-count or greater) for every book read
(chapter books on up). For example, if I read 12 books between the two months,
I will buy 12 packages of bar soap. This soap gets boxed up and will eventually
go on a cargo container when next GoServ Global sends one to Haiti. In addition
to GoServ Global’s website, you can find their blog here.
If anyone
reading this has put in volunteer efforts or is participating in one’s own
personal challenge, please share it in the comments. I don’t want to make
anyone feel guilty about what they are or are not doing. But if you’re doing, I
definitely want to celebrate it and live vicariously through your passion
projects. Plus, who knows what fun ideas I can gain from others? And we from
each other?
P.S. I am VERY
behind in my reading. Looking at this photo, I have only read three of these
books as of this posting date!
As expected, I did not read as much as I wanted. So, for anyone out there reading four books per week (one such person I met just yesterday), know that I am envious of your voracious reading habits and the time you have for all of that reading!! Between October and November, I managed to read seven books. Yes, sad, I know, as that's not even one book per week. But seven packages of bar soap are better than zero. I have bought five and will plan to buy two more the next time I run errands.
