Awesome idea Ines!
You’re right about the twitter contest. It turned into a lot of work. Counting tweets, following up with the winners, etc. But, seeing the creativity that has come from it makes it all worth while.

Thanks Daniel – let’s see how much we can raise 🙂
I am so glad it was worth while – I can still remember that Friday night and you up counting tweets (like sheep almost in your sleep – LOL) – looking forward to meeting you in SF

You have been so supportive of Mothers Fighting for Others in the past but this is such a great idea and kind offer. I hope the word gets out on ActiveRain as well. Did you write a post there?
Thank you so much!

I just saw the sale price. $300 can and will do so much for the girls. From school supplies to fresh fruit and vegetables, I know http://www.MothersFightingForOthers.com will make good use of it during headmutha’s trip to Africa if a few weeks. Every dollar is precious and so appreciated. Thank you so much!!!
