Weekend links

I’m so, so happy to announce that as an online community we have raised over $4,000 for the home education library here in the Philippines through our partnership with Love146–and that’s in less than one week!

With this type of momentum I know we can keep going and contribute enough to fund the education for the girls in the Round Home, survivors of child trafficking and exploitation, for an entire year!

If you missed my post last week, head here to catch up–or head here to donate as a family. Thank you for being such generous and awesome readers!
