Thought

I'm finally getting all the childrens books ready to ship to my StoryCorps 250 friend and amazing Peace Corps Volunteer Marina in rurual D'kar Botswana.  I have been collecting them from my neighbors who have lots of kids and lots of pre-read books they were excited to share with the children at Marina's school.   My little friend Avery and her mom, Emmy, even made a whole Girl Scout meeting (is that what you call it?) about Botswana.  They wrote little notes to the kids and signed all the books.  What a sweet, sweet connection to make!  Marina has promised some return notes from her kids soon.  Look, making a  connection between young people here in Atlanta and halfway around the globe in Botswana is the only way to change the world.  As they say at Nike - LET'S DO IT! 

My plan is to package them up and send them Saturday morning.  So if you happen to have any previously read books from the kids or grandkids laying around the house and want to send them to Africa, please feel free to drop them off at MetroFresh Uptown before the weekend.  

In other news, I made some delicious Pork Pozole Verde.   It'll be on the menu today until it inevitably sells out.  Come see us.
