Passports with Purpose

I enjoy decorating our Christmas tree and enjoying the tree, with its special ornaments and twinkling lights, in the warmth of my home. It’s a tradition that brings a lot of joy to me during the season.

I’m also overjoyed to participate in a new tradition aimed at sharing the joy of the season and the gift of giving with others—Passports with Purpose, a travelbloggers’ fundraising effort to benefit Heifer International.

Passports with Purpose is nearing its goal of raising $5,000 to benefit Heifer International as I write this, but there is still a week left to get in on the action and help us meet and surpass our goal!
