Today (Feb 22) is my birthday and my only wish today is to share my love for Foundation Escalera and the work they do with you.  This past Christmas break, I went on my second school building expedition with Foundation Escalera. (You can read about it here.)

Please take a moment and watch the video above, it’s a snippet from the expedition video and in it I talk about the stove project and it’s importance to improving health and education. Your donations along with the donations from Live Nation/Ticketmaster last year paid for 18 of the 40 stoves we installed in December in Nichnamtic. 

If you would like to help me celebrate my birthday (you are too kind!), all I am asking for is one of 3 things, pick and choose what you’d like to do.

1.) Like Foundation Escalera on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/escalerafund 

or better yet Take the Pledge to stand with Students without Schools

2.) Share this video with friends on your facebook page and help me spread the word about the work Foundation Escalera is doing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DAdQOHbnWk4 

3.) Consider a small donation to help us do more to improve education for students without schools: http://www.crowdrise.com/stoves 

Thank you for all the support and kind wishes over the past 2 years. You are simply the best people I know!
