From me and @mrpancakepuppy, thanks so much to everyone for the birthday wishes, and for making my day so fun and filled with love. My《insert heart emoji》is full! . . . . . #birthday #pancake #pupper #dog #dogsofinstagram #frenchbulldog #frenchie #frenchiesofinstagram #puppy #dcdogs #fam #food #friends

All I can say is WOW! Thank you so much to everyone who donated to my birthday fundraiser, helping me meet my goal in just two days! I am blown away by your generosity. In this spirit, I am leaving the campaign open one more day. 21 people have invested in sustainable change for Honduras so far, will you be next? A major focus area for Sustainable Villages Honduras is the escalating threat of global warming. Did you know the country is consistently rated among the top three most at-risk for adverse effects of climate change? As the families we serve primarily rely on farming, it is now more important than ever to optimize their rainy seasons, those that yield the most crop, as the dry seasons get longer every year. Through our programs, the communities and families we partner with are enabled with the tools and know-how to cultivate organically, and efficiently. This ensures they generate their strongest yield possible, and can endure, as the effects of climate change continue to threaten their livelihood. However, there are still more families and communities to help, so we are expanding our reach. That's where you come in. The ecosystems and people of Honduras are precious, and need our support. Will you join me in protecting the environment? Will you join the vanguard in the war on climate change? 🌎 Learn more: link in bio 🌎 . . . . . #sustainable #villages #honduras #landscape #mountains #environment #scenery #nature #charity #nonprofit #fundraiser #socialgood #climatechange #networkforgood

Today, I turn 27. As I celebrate another year, I ask you to join me in supporting a cause that is near and dear to my heart. Sustainable Villages Honduras (SVH) is a nonprofit serving some of the poorest farming communities in Honduras. A core tenet of SVH is creating food accessibility and sustainability for the families we serve. We do this by training, and sourcing, the processes and tools necessary to cultivate effectively, and ensure that the families we serve can put healthy meals on the table for their children every day. While getting food for us is as easy as a trip to the store, farming communities in Honduras have no such outlet. Many laborious hours in the field went into the meal you see here, which was served to me by an SVH family last year. However, due to our support, these farming processes have become easier and more effective every year. And we are just getting started By giving, you are helping us make food sustainability a reality for these deserving people. Together, we can enable a more healthy and prosperous Honduras. ♻️ Link in bio to learn more ♻️ . . . . . #sustainable #villages #honduras #food #farming #organic #foodporn #latino #cuisine #foodie #charity #nonprofit #fundraiser #socialgood #networkforgood

Tomorrow I begin my 27th year on this earth. In honor of this unspecial birthday, I am fundraising for a very special cause. Sustainable Villages Honduras serves some of the poorest communities in one of the poorest countries in the world. We enable Honduran families to be sustainable - to live, grow, learn, and thrive - by providing them with the tools and resources they need to do so, all while contending with the trying issue of our time: climate change. This week I will share a bit about the impact we are creating, and ask you to join me in enacting change.

"I am not an advocate for frequent changes in laws and constitutions, but laws and institutions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more developed, more enlightened, as new discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to remain ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors." - Thomas Jefferson . . . . . #washingtondc #jeffersonmemorial #monument #dc #capital #tidalbasin #tourist #city #allcaps #sundayfunday

"Good Defeats Evil" // St. George delivers a final death blow to the adversarial, malevolent dragon at his feet. The bronze-forged depiction of this legend came to New York in 1990, in the waning months of the Cold War, taking up residence on the grounds of the United Nations Headquarters. The sculpture was a gift of the failing Soviet Union, on the occasion of the UN’s 45th anniversary. Titled "Good Defeats Evil", the statue pays tribute to the UN’s role in augmenting worldwide nuclear disarmament.
