Green Eden Primary School-You can help!

So we're trying to complete a school near the Kenyan border. They don't have a roof. As you may assume a roof is very important to learning. If you don't believe me just try doing differential calculus on a chalk board in the rain. If you think that's hard then you know what it's like at Green Eden primary school. Oh, and to add to that imagine that if you don't get your roof built by January you'll be out on the street. Have I tugged your heart strings enough? No? Ok, well I've got more. Unlike American schools these kids won't get bussed to another school, they just won't get to go to school at all.

Now you are probably hearing Alice Cooper singing,"school's out for Summer. School's out for-ever!" but before you get too far just think about the last time you balanced your check book (I know it's probably been a while, maybe you've never done it but you know you could if you wanted to). Well these kids won't ever learn to balance a check book, write sentences, or figure out the precise moment a train leaving chicago will pass a train leaving from Boston (face it this is a universal torture that no child should be deprived of.

So now is your chance to help. All we need is $3500. We have $600 and the good people at tipping bucket have promised not to take your money unless we raise it all. Do you have a dollar? Do you have five dollars? Weren't you just scolding yourself for having that double-shot mocha capuccino with the extra shot of carmel and whipped cream? How much did it cost? $10 so you could skip the next one and build a school. Think how good you'll feel. Not only do you NOT have to spend an extra 30 minutes hating yourself on the treadmill but you can enjoy the warm fuzzy feelings of building a school in Africa. Now if you think that'll feel good just think about how great you'll feel if you invite a friend to donate too. Perhaps you can go together to skip the next coffee run. Good moral support, healthy lifestyle, and warm fuzzy feelings-does life get any better? I submit to you that it cannot!
