 every cookie counts

This last week I gave a presentation to the Portland Christian middle school students.  They have been diligently raising money for months to help in "Martha's dream."  They managed to raise about 25% of the funds used to buy supplies and put up the structure.  They held a penny war and weekly bake sales in order to raise money for Premec Creations.  They have done an awesome job of involving their student body in supporting this program for women across the world!  Keep it up PC!

After learning about this program for women in Ghana my grandmother wanted to do something to help.  For those of you that know my grandma, you know that my family brags she is the best baker/cook around.  Sweet things are her speciality.  She decided to bake dozens and dozens of cookies to add to the bake sale at PC in order to support the ladies of Premec Creations.  Her cookies sold out in a single lunch hour on Thursday!  In one day her cookies made $30 for Premec.  That is enough to pay half of a month's salary, or to provide the supplies for one day!  Every cookie counts.  Thanks grandma!
