If you haven't heard about Candace's contest over at The Misadventures In Candyland, you should go there now. This isn't just any old contest. This is Operation I Heart Joy Like BR8o.
What does that mean you ask? Well click here for her explanation. This contest is to help raise money for a charity called Joy 2 the World which generates micro-credit loans to women in Ghana to help them become independent.
I.E. They loan her money to buy a sewing machine and then they can start their own business.
It seems like such a small thing, but this can really make a big difference in their lives. Even if you can't give money, please help spread the word. This is an awesome cause that is about more than giving someone a meal or even feeding them for a month. This is about changing their lives.
Oh, and did I mention that there are some awesome prizes? So many generous people donating to the cause!

What a beautiful gesture on Candace's part. It's amazing how the internet is such a wonderful way to reach out to others, especially those in need.

Candyland is taking over the blogosphere! It's for a good cause though, so I don't feel stalked.
