Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

haiti and baked goods

This month Mr. Shawn decided to do some fundraising for a project my brother is involved in. My brother is headed to Haiti to treat victims of cholera and he is part of a group that frequently goes there to give medical treatment to people who otherwise have no way to see a doctor. This is their cause if you want to check it out. 

Shawn was so excited to contribute the money he made selling his delicious breads and muffins. He did the planning, shopping, and baking all by himself. I smashed a few bananas, that was it for my contribution. Shawn made close to $200! Here's what Shawn had to say.

"I'm SOOO proud of my uncle for doing all of this selfless service for the people of Haiti. I raised this money from making banana bread and blueberry muffins and selling them to my neighbors. Hopefully that will inspire whoever is out there to do something like that and help the world as much as possible! :)"
