The Eve of Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

It is the day before Thanksgiving and I will be traveling to Kansas City in about twenty minutes.  Thought before I leave… I am thankful we have the opportunity to celebrate food and over indulge.  No seriously, dealing with global poverty brings to light the obvious difficulty many have in eating more than one meal a day, sometimes no meals a day.  We get a whole day to fill our bellies and feel very large afterwards.

Be thankful that we probably all get at least two meals each and every day.  Be thankful for the ability to know that others don’t have this opportunity.  Support the work of good organizations like The 1010 Project.

We want to hear your thoughts… we invite your thoughts.  Create an account and join in on the conversation.  The true potential of this blog will be optimized with each new profile created, each new blog posted, and each new comment added.

Please forgive the cheesy photo, I needed to see if it would work in a post.

The New Site

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

Welcome, all of you, to our newly-redesigned site. We’ve gone through some major design/style changes in the last few months, but we feel that we’ve finally got something that is easy to navigate and easy on the eyes. If this is your first time visiting, please acquaint yourself with The 1010 Project and our work.

The whole point of redesigning the site is to make it easier for our supporters (current and future) to stay up to date on what we’re doing and to be able to connect to our development partners in Kenya. The new theme of our work is “Join the Story,” and the new site should make it easier for us to do that. So check back often as we fine-tune everything, and feel free to let us know how it looks and feels. We’re glad to have you with us!
