To Mama with Love

It's Mothers' Day tomorrow, and here's an opportunity to support a really great cause. You may remember that last year I wrote about To Mama with Love. This is an online collaborative art project, honouring mothers around the world. You can set up a 'heartspace' where you tell everyone how awesome your mum is - it can be personalised with words, photos, and/or videos - and donate money to Epic Change, which supports some amazing women, including Mama Lucy from Tanzania, pictured above. Check it out at http://www.tomamawithlove.org/.

Happy Mothers' Day all you mums! Including mine!

Support a good cause for Mothers' Day

Mothers' Day is this Sunday. How about showing love for your mother while also supporting a great cause? Organic Beauty Now (an online organic beauty store) has teamed up with Epic Change (the brains behind Tweetsgiving), to create To Mama with Love. Check it out at http://www.tomamawithlove.org/. On this site, you can create a heartspace for your mother, personalise it and donate USD$20 or more in her honour, and send her an e-card with the link.

The money goes towards funding a home for 50 children in Arusha, Tanzania (the village of Tanzanian Epic Change Fellow Mama Lucy), and the goal is to raise USD$50,000.
