The Yummy Coffee fundraiser went amazingly well!

Alison and I were out there from about 10am - 7pm.  With the help of 7 other volunteers we handed out nearly 150 brochures and 150 flyers.  I believe we had about 50 jewelry transactions and raised $415 in sales from the Maji Mazuri crafts.

We also sold 20 lbs of coffee and raised about $250 from those sales.  Our grand total for the day was $667.37 raised for Maji Mazuri.  Wahoo!  And we may have raised even more money with online sales.  But perhaps even more than dollars raised, we raised a lot of awareness and spoke with several people who were super interested in learning more about Maji Mazuri or sponsoring a child.

A big thanks to Luisa for helping us look polished and professional out there with new t-shirts, flyer, and brochures.  They're not a finished product but she worked overtime to create something that we could use for this single event.  THANKS, LUISA!!  You are amazingly talented.

And a SUPER BIG THANKS to Alison for coming up with this fundraiser idea and working like crazy to make sure it went off without a hitch.  You're the best!!

Now, on to the next fundraiser! :)

Lauren Fogarty developed a passion for social change in the developing world while on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2000.  Since then she has been involved with several social activism projects and has traveled to Africa, South America, and Central America to help be a part of a solution. She has worked with Maji Mazuri since 2004, when she spent 5 months in Kenya living with Wanjiku and working at the Maji Mazuri projects. While her background is in marketing, she has recently graduated with a Master’s degree in International Policy from New York University’s Wagner School of Public Service where she focused on the issues of post-conflict transitional justice and gender equality in Africa. Though she is currently at home with her newborn son, her hope is to use this degree to help create economic stability and social equality in the developing world.
