This week's feature:
The idea behind the Mocha Club is that you would give the money for two mochas ($7) a month to make a difference.
This organization focuses mostly on Africa, but they give you options to support. They have five different areas that you can choose from:
1. Child Mothers + Women at Risk
2. Clean Water
3. Education
4. HIV/AIDS + Health Care
5. Orphan Care + Vulnerable Children
It's awesome to let one of these areas line up with one of your passions and then just give $7 a month. The illustration is so great and so true. I definitely drink over two mochas a month. I can give two up.
The other cool thing about this is that you can do this in groups. You can form your own group of friends and all of you can support the cause together. They show you how to make a network and to involve others you know. What an amazing way to spread the word! And what an awesome foundations to build friendships on!

My hubby and I are discussing the blog redesign right now...I would say I'll be contacting you in the next couple weeks about a makeover....yay! Are there any specifics I should have in mind in the meantime? I am an AWFUL decision maker...so thinking ahead is good for me. You can just email me when you a get a change if you have any tips.
