Yvette Garfield, who is passionate about introducing children to the world through food, created Handstand Kids Cookbooks with the hope that children will be inspired to use their new cooking skills to help others throughout the world.

As some of you may already know, my daughter Katherine Commale is a champion NET-Raiser for Nothing But Nets. She began fundraising at the mere age of five, and now at 8-years-old, Katherine has raised more than $93,000.

After a great deal of research and inspiration, I ran across nbnold.pub30.convio.net, a campaign of the United Nations Foundation that distributes bed nets in Africa using the money that the public donates.

It’s time for another Nothing But Nets City Tour – our 16th – and we’re not traveling far from home this time. From June 13-23, we’ll be hosting events in our nation’s capital – Washington, DC.

Marc Koehler, managing director of the Beach Soccer Championships and member of Life Thru Sports also made sure the kids at the event were taught the importance of giving back to their communities.

Beneath sunny skies at the US Navy Memorial – one of the most highly-trafficked areas in Washington, DC – Nothing But Nets and local partners kicked off the DC City Tour yesterday with an awesome announcement: the city of DC is committing to raising funds to send 10,000 bed nets to refugees in Africa through our campaign and the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR).

We had a great time at Katherine Kennedy’s Nothing But Nets happy hour last night at Skye Lounge in Washington, D.C.  Katherine is a young philanthropist and star of the upcoming reality show “Blonde Charity Mafia.”

I cannot fathom what it would have been like to be in the shoes of Rose Mapendo, a refugee mother of 10 who was imprisoned during the conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I am a former soccer player so the analogy of sending the ‘wrong nets’ was powerful. I have also been to Africa twice with a volunteer medical group and have seen first-hand the extreme poverty and need.

In the past couple of months of working with the Nothing But Nets campaign, I noticed that many of our supporters have held various events or requested donations in lieu of presents in honor of their Bar or Bat Mitzvah celebrations.
