Can we possibly complete the entire list of schools and donate to them all?? We didn't even dream about it when we first started with this idea. This list seemed so loooong and unachievable. And now we are so close to the end. We funded three schools just today!
Congratulations, Meagan, Catherine, and Shana! The journals are now going to Ontario, Canada, Victoria, Australia, and Kentucky, US.
And thank you for spreading the word, it makes a HUGE difference. Really.
Amber and Shannon, YOUR schools are next!

Kickstarter is full of awesome projects!
What's cool about being part of Kickstarter is you get to interact with lots of other creators who are running their projects at the same time. It becomes like a small community of people who never met but have lots in common (just for this short time).
And of course if we have a chance to support other creators, we will! Here's one interesting project from the UK we thought you might like:
Being ManKind
Outdated masculinity damages everyone. Being ManKind is getting rid of the term ‘Man Up!‘. They use real-life stories from positive role models to inspire young boys to grow to be kind and confident adults, without feeling the need to conform to gender stereotypes. For every copy of Being ManKind volume 1 sold, another is gifted to a school with lesson plans to ignite important conversations from a young age. Check them out here.
TWO more schools!!

We have only three days left, guys. Please spread the word so that we can donate journals to as many schools from this list as possible.
Thank you!
