Day 4: One Million Ways to Give Back

“From what we get, we can make a living; What we give, however, makes a life.” – Winston Churchill
One of our big goals at Planning Playtime is to make sure we give back, and this year we’ve been working on something amazing.
We are working with the non-profit Village Impact to help build a school in Kenya next summer. The average teacher salary there is $100 a month, so our contribution in USD will go very far to helping complete the school.
Our goal is to donate $12,000 to this project this year. If you would like to partner with us in helping bring this school to the kids in Kenya, we invite you to join us. ou can donate by sending money via Paypal to momamyn@gmail.com. Include a note with your payment with the words, “For Kenya,” and we’ll collect that for our school.
Any little bit goes a long way with a community our size.
But there are many, many ways to give back. We encourage you to pick one today, whatever it is and however you know you can make a difference.
We are sponsoring today’s giveaway. One lucky winner will get an ENTIRE YEAR of our All Access membership valued at $360.
