GISH-Team Breakfast Octopi (Unofficial)- Change A Life

4

Several of our illustrious forum members and myself are participating in the new version of GISHWHES (Greatest International Scavenger Hunt the World Has Ever Seen)
It’s a week full of creativity, kindness, acceptance, gatherings and …well lots of weird!
This is put on by Random Acts.org and is a fundraiser as we pay a fee to participate. This year the money raised is going to save a lot of puppies and kittens.
Every year though they also do a Change A Life crowd rise fundraiser. This year’s recipients are from a village in Rwanda.
The main person is Olive. As Olive was in labor with her third child, she saw her entire family slaughtered in front of her. Devastated, she could have given up on life. Instead she adopted 6 other children orphaned in this same war. She was also forced to see the men who killed her family often in her village. Did she hide from them, no. Olive forgave them. She’s an amazing inspiration for all of us, especially the other women in her village. When GISH approached her about helping, she said wonderful, but whatever you give me, I will share with the other women in my village. So Gish took up the challenge to make their dream come true.
They have set up a Crowd Rise page to raise money to purchase some land for them to grow vegetables, along with building a small market for them to be able to sell their goods. This will allow them to actually make a profit and feed their children.
Each team has been asked to set up their own page and raise at least a hundred dollars. Our team of course can donate, and of course the more the better, but they’ve challenged us to get at least 10 donations outside of our team. So if you can donate, thank you very much as it’s a deserving cause. If you can’t, no worries, if you would just post the link on your social media sites, we will be forever grateful. Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
