This week we have celebrated Thanksgiving, Black Firday and will soon participate in Giving Tuesday. BonZeb has will also celebrate our parents, and founders, who were married on November 26th, 1977.
This week they celebrate their 40th anniversary. They don't want any gifts. They don't want to take a big trip. They want to mark the occasion by raising money for a good cause.
Whether finding scholarships for HEAR, fundraising for schools, or hosting countless visitors in their home, Mom and Dad have been helping people in Haiti for years.
Their current project is BonZeb, a small charity with a simple mission, to bring jobs and sustainable fuel to Haiti. Charcoal is the dominant fuel in Haiti and the search for cheap cooking fuel has deforested ninety eight percent of the country. BonZeb aims to create new jobs in Haiti farming elephant grass to make sustainable charcoal and save the island's forest.
Any money they raise will go directly to helping grow new businesses in Haiti and save precious natural resources.
Our current goal is to raise $4000, one hundred dollars for every year of marriage, but the ultimate goal is to riase $40,000. Anything you can give is a great help. Please consider honoring Tom and Eileen with a donation of $40, $400 or even $4000.
Thank you.
