buildOn Today

One of our clients at Courtney & Co, buildOn, is an organization that “empowers people and transforms lives by partnering our after-school service programs in the U.S. with communities in developing countries to build schools.” So that means kids in underprivileged neighborhoods in the U.S. volunteer time and efforts to do outreach work in their own communities and as they do this they raise money to build schools in impoverished countries around the world. Jim Ziolkowski, buildOn’s founder was interviewed on the Today Show this morning so we went out early this morning with buildOn shirts and signs we printed up to stand in the outside audience with some of the program kids and get some more exposure. Even though my logo wasn’t chosen in the end, it was cool to have our work broadcast to millions of viewers across America. On a related note Courtney & Company is building our own school in Mali, Africa and Mark, Suzi and I are scheduled to go over there this fall to help build it for a week. I will post more details on that when it is closer, but you can read more information on that at the Courtney & Company website under & initiative.
