“It's hard to make fun of you for an act of charity, but I'll try. Congrats for embracing the inevitable! Don't burn your head in the Kenyan sun. ”

What’s it about

Sometimes in life one has crazy ideas. As you know, I have them regularly. And this latest one I want to turn into reality:

I WILL SHAVE MY HEAD BALD...
...for charity!

Yes my wonderful round head will be one shinny head, similar to HOMER in the bowling alley episode....

The charity I picked is called CBSM (Community Breakthrough Support Mission). It is a primary school providing education for 350 orphans and vulnerable children between the ages of 3 and 15 in Kimilili, Western Kenya.

I will be volunteering for this organization in Kimilili, Kenya in December! No shower, no electricity, NO MEAT (just rice and beans). I will be swinging a hammer, putting up walls and a roof (and yes they will be straight this time)
CBSM (www.cbsm-kimilili.org) is a registered charity under the umbrella of the Rütli Stiftung (Trust) in Switzerland, founded in July 2011.

What I particularly like about this charity is that 100% of all donations go directly to the needy children as all administrative costs are covered privately by the board members.
I want to help them because the current mud hut needs to be turned into a proper, sustainable building.

For the first classroom to be build, we need 3'000 stones: 1 stone costing 1 Euro
I'm willing to go the extra mile: if we get to at least 3'000 Euros (THATS $4K FOR THOSE IN THE US AND ABOUT 6 LOONIES IN CANADA), I will shave my head!

Pictures will obviously be shared with you! And I want to build more than one room.
Will you help?

I sincerely thank you!
