Have you heard about the fundraiser to help support Action Kivu over on Handmade by Alissa?  Action Kivu teaches women in Congo to sew so they will be able to have a skill to support themselves and their families and helps pay for children to attend school.  I have to say that Action Kivu is one of my favorite organizations to donate to -- what better cause could there be?  Check out the Action Kivu website to learn more about how the Democratic Republic of Congo has been affected by war and how Action Kivu has been helping the women and children who are victims of violence.

If the good feeling of donating to a great cause isn't enough, you will be entered to win some great prizes based on the dollar amount of your donation.  Here is the post with the prize and donation details.  More prizes keep showing up so keep on checking in with Alissa's daily posts this week.
