And, I'm Giving the Profits Away ...

Yes, you read that right. I'm giving away all the profits on the sale of the Grow Up! Strategies Book, in both hard copy and audio form, to one of the two below organizations:

Grow Up! Strategies Project: Reading Room US $4,000

"Help us expand our number of libraries from 5,000 to over 10,000 by 2010. For US$4,000, you can fund one of thousands of libraries we are creating to reach an additional 3 million children with books and library resources. You can designate your gift to establish a library within an existing room in a school in Cambodia, India, Laos, Nepal, Sri Lanka or Vietnam. Each of these libraries serves hundreds of students annually and includes as many as 300-1000 local language and English language books (depending on the size of the room). Your sponsorship funds the creation of a child-friendly learning environment that includes: books, furniture, games, puzzles, posters, librarian training, and three years of support from Room to Read."

"Kiva's mission is to connect people through lending for the sake of alleviating poverty. Kiva is the world's first person-to-person micro-lending website, empowering individuals to lend directly to unique entrepreneurs in the developing world. The people you see on Kiva's site are real individuals in need of funding - not marketing material. When you browse entrepreneurs' profiles on the site, choose someone to lend to, and then make a loan, you are helping a real person make great strides towards economic independence and improve life for themselves, their family, and their community. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can receive email journal updates and track repayments. Then, when you get your loan money back, you can relend to someone else in need."

What do I mean by all the profits? After cost of production (printing, reproduction), shipping (postage, packaging, fulfillment house fees), and taxes (sales tax), all of the proceeds will be donated to one of the above organizations.

**We will be facilitating direct donation opportunities for you to these organizations so you can get credit that can be used towards future Grow Up! Strategies Products & Events. Stay tuned!**
