Echoing Good

almost one year ago, i accepted an internship of a lifetime.

TOMS.

to say i met some inspirational people would be an understatement.

people who work for TOMS are exceptional. driven.  and truly want to make the world a better place.

one of my fellow interns, molly, goes above and beyond that statement.

molly started her own nonprofit: Echoing Good.

"The mission of Echoing Good is to support small-scale projects that are community led and inspired.Through the funding of these projects we empower communities to create their own meaningful change. While the projects we support are relatively small in budget, the results are high in impact and most importantly, sustainable."

From Echoing Good blog:
"When Echoing Good began working to establish a sustainable school-feeding program in Gulu, we had about 340 students enrolled at Okwir Primary School. Now, I am proud to say, we have almost 500 (!!!). Given that we’re still waiting to finish harvesting the crops before serving the children their first meals, this is quite the accomplishment."

Echoing Good recently released their 'Echo Chain'
