Heifer International (you all know who they are, I suppose; they donate livestock to the very poor, to improve quality of life and enable families to have an income) sent me an unprovoked 26-page glossy catalog. I can give a Llama for $150! A whole Llama.

But, my question to them is: how much money did they spend taking the pictures in the catalog (including lots of pics of celebrity supporters), printing the catalog on this nice glossy paper which makes it unfit to be kindling come the cold weather, and mailing it to people. And how many animals could they have bought with that money?

Thanks, anonymous donor!

I've signed up for Blogathon 2007. I will be blogging on behalf of NF, Inc.; a charity near and dear to my heart because NF is a genetically linked illness that has affected members of my family. Please consider pledging, to myself or another blogger. To learn more about my charity, and NF, you can follow the link on this page (to the left, to the left).

All of the pledges go directly to the charities you sponsor, I don't see any cash, and neither do the organizers, so your money goes where it is needed. I will be posting every 1/2 hour for 24 hours; anyone who wants to come hang out; party in my house! I'll be the one with the misbehaving laptop.

Wish me luck, and much caffeine. I haven't stayed awake that long without actually having insomnia since 2002.

Update: If you go to the sponsorship page, I'm listed under my Title: This Blog Has No Title...Just Words and A Tune. FYI. Not that I'm pushing...

I was reading in a recent post; according to Amnesty International, one in three Native American is at risk for sexual violence (http://web.amnesty.org/library/Index/ENGAMR510352007). A battered women's shelter on the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, Pretty Bird Woman House (http://prettybirdwomanhouse.chipin.com/pretty-bird-woman-house) (named after the founder's sister, who was raped and murdered in 2001) is in imminent danger of going under, due to loss of its funding. It will be forced to close in May if new resources can’t be found. Please contribute what you can.
