Who Wants to Party?

For the past few months, we’ve been working on building a community of people dedicated to awareness and action.  We’ve been overwhelmed by the response people have had to some of our informational posts about maternal health and education, our inspirational posts about our MOMs (mamas of the month), and the posts celebrating the beauty that is being a Mama.

Over the last couple of years, we’ve worked in conjunction with our parent organization to complete two small projects that changed the lives of women in Uganda and one mama in Costa Rica.  These projects were successful because we had YOUR support.

NOW IS THE TIME TO DO SOMETHING BIG!  

So, here’s our first official roll call for House Mamas!  Want to know if you qualify?  Here’s the application:

1. Do you have friends?

2. Would you like to help change the lives of women?

If you answered yes to those two questions, you’re hired!  And you know what we want you to do?  We want you to have a party!  A Love Party!  We want you to gather with your friends in the same way you always do—but this time, we want you to share the vision of Somebody’s Mama.  We’ve picked a really special project, and we can’t do it without you.  Here’s what you need to know in order to say YES to being a House Mama:

• Our first quarterly project involves building a maternity ward at a hospital in one of the poorest nations in the world (more information to come shortly).  
• Our goal is for each of us to plan our parties between April 8th-15th (you pick what works best for you in that timeframe).
• You are in charge of what your party looks like!

Here are just a few ideas about how you can structure your party:

• Host a potluck dinner party and tell everyone to chip in what it would have cost if you’d gone out to dinner!
• Host bunco/bridge/game night like you do every month and instead of giving out prizes for the winners, dedicate one evening to Somebody’s Mama!
• Is your group of friends into garage sales?  Pool your stuff together for a big sale and donate the proceeds to our project!
• Come up with something cool that YOUR friends would love and run with it!  This is about connecting our everyday living with some simple giving.

Once you have agreed to be a House Mama, we will send you an information packet (via email) with more information about the project.  It will answer the who/what/when/where questions and provide instructions on how to structure your “presentation” to your friends.  We will equip you with all the resources to help engage others in the mission of Somebody’s Mama—and we hope you’ll have fun doing it!
