Hey, everyone. I’m using this post to make a quick shout-out on behalf of my man Kenji Crossland. My long-time readers might remember that name from a video interview that I did of him in my “Conversations” series last year.

Since that interview, Kenji moved into a new role working with Vittana, a non-profit with a website that helps its users make microloans to support the education of students in developing countries. Tomorrow (March 8, 2012) Vittana doing a big push to help fund 100 women’s educations and they already have a lot of influential bloggers and twitterati on board to help spread the word. Kenji reached out to me just now to add to the publicity effort and I was more than happy to help.

If you’d like to help them reach their goal, here are some things that you can do:

  • Go to their Vittana students page and make a loan to support the student of your choice!
  • Join the #Vittana4Women Twitter Chat Thursday, March 8th 10:00 AM PST 1:00 PM EST and learn how education empowers women and why this makes a significant impact on communities as a whole. More info about it here: http://www.hollywoodhotmoms.com/join-us-for-vittana4women-twitter-chat/
  • Follow @Vittana on twitter and “like” Vittana on facebook.
  • Spread the word…If you have a blog post of your own please consider writing a short blog post and tweet about International Women’s day.

Also, you can check out the posts on the Vittana blog about empowering women. There are some great stories here to get you and your friends inspired to help out with their cause. I hope you’ll all take a few minutes to help them with this initiative.
