About a month ago I found out that $100 would send a kid in Haiti to school for an entire year. Hence the $1 challenge. Here are some other facts about Haiti that I've learned recently:
$144 feeds a family of 4 for an entire year.
A child dies every hour in Haiti due to malnutrition. (This is happening all over the world today.)
1 in 3 children under the age of 5 will die.
People, we can do something about this! If you feel like you can play a part in making a difference, find an organization to work with. There are lots out there.

By the way, some of you need to STEP IT UP on the $1 challenge. If you are reading this, that means you. Take 2 minutes to send me a dollar! Please :)
