Ahhh… Sunday.
I am beginning to pack for The Go-Giver Tour. Let's see, a few extra t-shirts (humid in Orlando) and 7 hats for each of my blogs. And no I'm not packing too soon. I have a lot of prep work to accomplish and it's rainy today so why not start now, plus there is very limited space. Maybe one more t-shirt, I should look nice though…
I wish I could say I found this next quote while I was rummaging through my sock drawer, but that wouldn't be real. But when I did find it, I thought this is my perfect Sunday message as I head into this really fantastic week.
"To get away from one's working environment is, in a sense, to get away from one's self; and this is often the chief advantage of travel and change." ~Charles Horton Cooley
Ahhh… Sunday! Ahhh, travel.
Maybe one more t-shirt – - speaking of t-shirts check out a young entrepreneur named Danny Bocanegra. Danny will be heading Kenya in June. No safari for Dan. He set out earlier this year to raise $5,000 to purchase a minimum of 1000 mosquito nets to fight malaria by selling t-shirts through his organization called Buzzkill. He is partnering with www.volunteerhq.org, teaching English to students who as you might guess will learn how to use the mosquito nets Danny is providing and then the students will go home and train their parents.
Here's what I think is really cool about Dan's travel – when he returns in July, Danny will be starting his own business. An e-commerce site that will be "the hub for fashionable clothing with social awareness". It will be a social enterprise where a portion of every t-shirt sale will benefit a specific cause.
In order to raise the remainder if the money for his planned net allocation Buzzkill is selling t-shirts for $20 + shipping and handling. All of Danny's travel expenses are generously being covered by individual donors. So 100% of the proceeds go to the cause. I just got mine and it is in my travel stack. You might think about your "travel" plans. Go to DannyBocanegra.blogspot.com or Dan.Bocanegra@gmail.com and he can give you statistics and more info. He is close to reaching his goal.
