We've developed a new social portal that allows blood recipients to say thanks to their unknown donors.  Thank Your Donor gives a chance for people to hear all the positive effects that their blood donations are having. 

We're hoping this will encourage more people to donate! 

Check out one of the videos that a recipient made to say thanks:

Britt Bravo and I have the pleasure of being the blogging mentors this week on the Young Caucasus Women Project.  Our assignment was to write an essay on the topic of "Who's your favorite artist (visual, dancer, performer, writer, or musician) and why?" 

Here are our posts:

Britt Bravo:  Art for Social Change
Beth Kanter:  Are You An Artist too?

The young women were given the same assignment and part of our tasks as Mentors was read and comment on their work.  It has been a delightful experience and it's also helped me expand my world music collection.  They've recommended some terrific musicians and music from their countries.

Here's the posts - read and comment:
