I always love reading your posts! I wanted...Julie,<br /><br />I always love reading your posts! I wanted to let you know (and hopefully you can pass this on to your community of India-adoptive families) about a cause I'm involved with: Passports with Purpose<br />http://www.passportswithpurpose.com/<br /><br />It was started by women who I know through my blogging adventures on Wanderlust and Lipstick. Last year they raised $30,000 to build a school in Cambodia. This year they are hoping to raise $50,000 to build a VILLAGE in INDIA!! It will be all women-owned housing for Dalit (untouchable)families in the Village in Karunganni, located in the state of Tamil Nadu.<br /><br />It's bloggers like us that can help find donations of "prizes" that people will bid on ($10/bid) and get the word out on this really cool fundraising effort. This year ALL the proceeds from Passports with Purpose go to, LAFTI http://www.friendsoflafti.org/. <br /><br />Let me know if you have any questions; I can put you in touch with the women who are organizing this. I'd love to see other adoptive mom bloggers (and particularly those adopting from India) on board!<br /><br />Beth (aka Pampers and Pakhlava)Beth Shepherdhttp://wanderlustandlipstick.com/blogs/pamperspakhlava/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30065587.post-35993648361295275132010-08-25T08:40:13.693-07:002010-08-25T08:40:13.693-07:00Wish the gathering on the East coast, and the one ...Wish the gathering on the East coast, and the one on the West coast could have somehow merged!
