What’s even cooler is that since it was featured on what Wall Blank calls “No-Profit Fridays,” 100% of the proceeds go straight to Canaan Children’s Home in Uganda. I’ve spent some time with Pastor Isaac Wagaba and what they’re doing at this place with the orphans of HIV/AIDS in the face of ongoing conflict is really miraculous.

In summary, if you’ve got a blank wall and thirty bucks, why not get some art and buy school books for orphans in Africa while you’re at it. Win-win, my friends — and that’s what we are all about.

For those of you in the Charlottesville area,

charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations. We give 100% of the money raised to direct project costs, funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Just $20 can give one person in a developing nation clean water for 20 years.

We have an ambitious goal: $4,000 in one night — money that will dig a well in a place where clean water is literally a matter of life or death. This Twestival thing is happening in 175+ cities with all the cash going toward this one great cause. Come be a part of it and help spread the word! Get more details here.

One of Einbahn’s own, Craig Williams, needs some help.

Trouble is, he’s in Los Angeles and his mom, Kyle, is here in Virginia. Craig and his wife are scrambling to sell what they can, pack what they can’t, and get back to the east coast as quickly as possible. I know times are tight and getting tighter, but I would ask you to consider helping them get back home. Overused, I know, but look at it this way: $2.50 buys you a cup of coffee. Alternatively, it could buy a gallon of gas for Craig.

Here’s the blog he’s set up for donations and more information. There’s also a group on Facebook if you want to show your support. Either way, please send up a prayer for Craig and his family.
