First and foremost, we must give credit where credit is due. If it were not for Blake Mycoskie, founder of TOMS Shoes and author of 'Start Something That Matters,' the inspiring ideas and new life changing road would not be before us! (If you have not picked up your copy of Blake's book... you really should! It's AMAZING!!!)
With this said, our idea came to us one Sunday early evening. Missa was in a car on her way to a work event for a job she hated. Heather was currently at work behind her desk. Bradley, was opted in for his creative brain.
The genius beyond genius idea is to take something as simple as a journal and turn it around to help children around the world have the supplies they need. We have come across a few resources that give us schools and specifically classrooms who are in need of direct help. Through the selling of these journals, we will collect all the items from the classroom list. After all the items have been collected we will pay these schools/classrooms a visit and give them the gift of all the items they need. :) We are beyond excited to help as many classrooms and schools as we can!!!
We do plan on blogging the entire process of journal selling and the collecting of all items!!! Once we have chosen the classrooms and schools to help we will announce them. For the supply drops we will video blog and picture blog these as well so that everyone can see that their purchase made a difference in those kids lives and has helped them to have everything they need to make learning to the best of their abilities possible!!!
We have got a lot of work ahead of us and a LOT of planning!!! Keep following to see this adventure progress!!
