Pajama Program

I almost cried when I read this article in “The Week”. Here is the article in it’s entirety.

Genevieve Piturro was volunteering as a reader at a children’s shelter in Harlem when she noticed that many of the young children were forced to sleep in their clothes at night for lack of pajamas. in response, she launched the Pajama Program (pajamaprogram.org), which has given away more than 1 million pajamas and 620,000 bedtime-story books to children in need since 2001. The children who receive the pajamas, many of whom have suffered neglect or abandonment, are typically living in group homes, shelters, or temporary housing, and are often hoping to be adopted. Some receive the first pajamas they ever owned.

I am going to keep my opinion to myself and you can only guess what my thoughts are. So give what you can afford and keep adoption on the front burner. Education, education, education – I want to shout it out from the top of a coconut tree.

Your thoughts?

One of the Eden House’s favorite groups to give to each monthly is the Fugees. Take a few minutes and read what they are all about and I am sure you will agree. I read about them in Sports Illustrated several years ago and was bitten. Amazon is donating 6% of what you purchase from Amazon to the Fugees. It doesn’t cost you extra penny to donate – DA. I do lots of my shopping through Amazon so this is a no-brainer. I hope you agree. To make purchases just go to Amazon from the link on this site and BAM you are a good guy. Then have a double at happy hour and you will feel even better. So gobble, gobble, gobble and we will talk soon, Mike
