With the rapidly changing, cyclical nature of news these days, it's easy to forget the catastrophes that occurred before today's headline news. It's been two years since the devastating earthquake in Haiti. Half a million people are still living in tents and in extreme poverty. But the good news is that great progress is being made this year to alleviate this problem.

After finding about the project through my friend Grace, I realized I want to be part of that great progress too, in hopes of finding at least two people who will recognize this anniversary by sponsoring a charcoal-efficient stove for a family in Haiti. And maybe those two people will inspire two more people to remember and pray for Haiti.

These stoves are simple and sustainable solutions to major global issues. By sponsoring a stove, YOU (yes you) can help a family in Haiti breathe easier, cook faster, and increase their income by saving on fuel costs. With YOUR help, they can send their kids to school, start a business, and eat more nutritious foods. This video captures the impact you could have: The Adventure Project. This organization is partnering with people on the ground to create jobs, maintain dignity, and improve livelihoods – all through a little stove.

Think about it. 2 years. 2 friends. 2 stoves. Lots of positive impact. Sponsor a stove and change some lives. And pass it on – inspire two people to remember Haiti today. Think about how big your network is, how many Facebook friends you have. Are there two friends you can reach out to?

We want to turn the second anniversary of the Haiti earthquake into a day of record-breaking impact.

It's a simple idea. We are each finding 2 friends. Two friends who will recognize the anniversary by sponsoring a $20 charcoal-efficient stove for a family in Haiti. And the movement begins when those two friends reach out to their 2 friends.

These stoves are revolutionary, allowing families to breathe easier, cook faster, and increase their income by saving on fuel costs. The money saved is money used to send their kids to school, start small businesses, and eat more nutritious food. The stoves are produced locally in Port au Prince and sold by women entrepreneurs. It's a sustainable business model providing a life-saving product.

So we are marking this anniversary with a ripple movement of friends.
2 years, 2 friends, 2 stoves.

Buy your stove. Grab your badge. And find your two friends.
