Sundresses for Haiti Keep Rolling In…

I’d like to give a special thank you to all the amazing seamstresses who continue to send in homemade sun dresses for HOPE Art’s Dress Drive. Our original goal was 30 dresses, a new one for each girl, and our count is now at 68 and still climbing!! It’s been incredibly heartwarming to watch them continue to come in.

For those of you that may not have sewing skills, but would like to support this project, HOPE Art has a new Kickstarter campaign running that we would like to also serve as a dress delivery trip in January. Only 18 days are left to reach our goal and receive all the money that has been pledged so far. Please consider skipping a latte for a day and donating $5 to make this special trip happen. Every little bit helps, thank you everyone!

Thank You Cleanwell!

….
Cholera is an illness caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae. Infection with the bacterium causes acute intestinal distress with diarrhea and vomiting. Severity can range from mild to dehydration and death. While the industrialized world is virtually cholera-free, many parts of the Middle East, Africa, Latin America and Asia have cholera in epidemic proportions.

Use caution when traveling to cholera-infested areas. Wash with hot, soapy water or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer frequently, especially before handling food and after going to the toilet.
