global goodness. be good to the world.

oops. I know I was supposed to make my last post about a project I am doing for a non-profit, but I got distracted by the amazingness that is the mustache sisters. Now that I've calmed down, I'd like to talk about Global Goodness, a non-profit that was started by a friend of mine, Sarah Lynch, from my undergrad days in NYU.

Sarah started Global Goodness about a year and a half ago, and already they have collected over 10,000 books for a small community called Jamestown, just on the outskirts of Accra, Ghana, Africa, just from collecting from local schools, the NYU community, friends, and families.

I was moved by the purity and humbleness of Sarah and the organization and wanted to help, so I offered to make bags for them to sell to raise money for book shipments, and supplies like simple hardware tools to build bookshelves for the books that they are sending over.

Sarah is currently in Ghana right now, blogging as frequently as she can about the progress she is making for Global Goodness, and arranging for local Ghanaians to build these shelves. You can purchase a bag here (available September 15 in pink, blue or grey) or just simply donate any children's books or funds to help the impact of Global Goodness.


If anyone has any recommendations on how we can spread the goodness of global goodness, or would like to contribute, please send me an email at ddott.madebyanne@gmail.com.

we have already made arrangements to set up a table outside of the Park Slope co-op in Brooklyn (dates tba), but if anyone knows of any other stores/companies who would support our cause, any information would be super helpful!


Thanks for tuning in.

love,
global goodness and anne
