Under The Baobab Tree is making strides. UTBT has been busy these past weeks discussing development strategies with Free Cause, a globally recognized organization that works to provide engagement solutions that capitalize on the value of relationships, working towards the benefit of nonprofit organization and other affinity based groups. Free Cause has developed a toolbar for the Yahoo browser that allows users to donate two or three cents to the committee each time they do an Internet search. The Susan G. Komen Foundation for the cure for breast cancer along with many other organizations have benefited from the work of Free Cause. UTBT is excited to have recently been introduced to its very own UTBT browser toolbar. In addition, Free Cause's use of SnapCMS, an easy and cost effective way to create customized social network applications, will allow UTBT to have its own network through social connections like Facebook. We hope that this will help spread the word and educate people about our mission.
In addition, we have also had Crocs donate enough footwear for all of the children in Malawi. Crocs are perfect (in case you have never tried them out) because they are waterproof and super comfortable and durable. We want to thank Crocs for their generous donation. We plan on bringing the Crocs down in our upcoming trip. Speaking of our upcoming trip, we are also working with the I.A. O'Shaughnessy Foundation in order to receive a grant and send our first troop over to Malawi to get the ball rolling. We are extremely excited to hear back regarding the grant and will be sure to keep everyone updated on new steps in our nonprofit's growth.
