I don’t know if all of this is true, but I just looked up their “position” on homosexuality, and that alone is astonishing enough to keep me away. Geez.

Coco Rocha’s Helping Hand for Haiti 

Coco Rocha slinks down the catwalk like it’s nobody’s business, but she also knows how to walk it like she talks it. A social entrepreneur in training heels, the Canadian-born Coco is involved with several charities, including LakayPAM, a non-for-profit organization that provides more than 500 orphans in Haiti with shelter, food, medical care and education.

Haiti has been on my brain lately, and this image is now stamped on my brain. My friend Katie is working at an orphanage in Haiti, about 45 minutes from Port-au-Prince, and has been for the past month. She is taking care of babies that are literally dropped on the front door step, and they have limited medical equipment for the number of children they house. Two family friends (a father & daughter) are working at the medical hospital in Port-au-Prince together for the week. Now seeing Coco and Behati and the work they’re doing with LakayPAM has continued the circle of inspiration. 

I JUST WANT TO HELP PEOPLE, you know?!

One Day Without Shoes

letsbe-the-change:

As many of you know, One Day Without Shoes is fast approaching, April 5th. It’s a great day to just think about what you have and what you can do to give back to those who don’t have shoes. If you have to wear shoes to work or school, you can still show your support by going to: http://www.onedaywithoutshoes.com/event-toolkit and downloading the stencils for a t-shirt or stickers. Wear whatever you can to help!
