because it’s about giving {a hugenormous giveaway with world vision!}

A week from right now I will be sitting in Dubai waiting to get on a plane to Sri Lanka.

{The mind. It boggles.}

In my luggage I will have packed items – toys, art supplies, notebooks, stickers – for the children we will be meeting. I cannot wait to give them away.

And because the reason for this trip with World Vision is to open our eyes to the ways that we can change lives with our giving, we thought we would start this journey off right: with a massive, fantastical, superific giveaway for you guys! We’ve put together four identical prize packages, a collection of some of our favorite books, music, and World Vision apparel. To each of those four prize packs we will add something handmade by the Sri Lankan people, purchased on our trip.

This is what each of the four winners will receive:

-A copy of World Vision’s Faith in Action Study Bible

-A copy of The Hole in Our Gospel by Richard Stearns, World Vision’s president
